Incessant chatter.... Isn't it great (with sarcasm).

We often take away my daughter's privilege to talk. We just tell her she has used it all up and the privilege is gone.

We also will answer dumb questions with dumb answers. Like, she will come into the kitchen at dinner time and say "Are you cooking dinner?" Well, duh... I will say something like "No, I'm building a battleship." And then just continue what I was doing. She is starting to understand and she will say "Oh, silly question huh?".

Its done to drive you batty. And it works. You need to take control of it. It the children's ability to control you and they should not be allowed to do it.
