For instance, last night at dinner she was talking so much (and I was acknowledging her statements so much) that I finally had to stop her and say "sweetie I can't chew my food b/c I have to stop every other second to say 'uh huh' or 'mmmm'.
This thread is cracking me up! FWIW, my nickname as a toddler was Running Mouth. My father had to work so hard to get me to learn to stop talking and let others have a turn (I'm the youngest of 5) it wasn't until I was 3 years into graduate skool that I found my "voice" again. I literally did not participate in class discussions until I was 34 years old. I was trying to be a good girl! Not my parent's fault, but being silent surely hurt me immensely in class.
