I have Scooby who is in a HUGE copycat stage, going MOM! at the top of his lungs all day, eslcliaepy if I don't drop what I am doing right that second. Then, I have Jellybean who starts with the MOM! like she's dying as soon as she walks in the door. It's one of the blessings of hearing aids. I can turn them off when I really need a break. ;)
