Losing Focus

I woke up one morning a month or so ago and Joe was coughing quite a bit. I went into his room and found he had thrown up, but didn't seem to be feeling too badly otherwise.

Mommy: Did you throw up?
Joe: Yes.
M: Just now?
J: Well, the first time was 3:30 in the morning, then again at about 3:50, then about five minutes ago.
M: Oh, honey, why didn't you wake Daddy or me up to let us know?
J (looking at me through his eyebrows): Um...I was pretty focused on barfing??
M: Well, yeah, I guess you would have been.

BEEP

So, the boys were fighting last night, and I took some time out with each to talk about what happened.

Mommy: What was going on?
Joe: Andrew called me a name, and I asked him to stop. He wouldn't stop, so I hit him.
M: What did he call you?
J: A "beep-beep".
M: I'd like to know the actual words.
J: A "beep-beep".
M: He called you a "beep-beep"?
J: Yes. But in the 'bad word' way.
M: So, what were the actual words he used?
J: A "beep-beep".
M: The actual words he used were "beep-beep"?
J: Yes.
M: He didn't say bad words? He actually used the words "beep-beep"?
J: Yes. That's better than "dumb stupid head".
M: Um...well... anyway, WE DON'T HIT.

blanketing the town with snow
muffling out the sound
