Hello?

Here's how the conversation with my oldest went this morning:

Me: I love you honey. I know you'll do well on your test.

Him: Yep. I love you.

Me: You might want to grab your backpack.

Him: Yep. Bye.

Me: You might want to grab your backpack.

Him: OK

Me: (Voice slightly raised as now he is outside and closing the door) You might want to grab your backpack.

Him: OK Mom

Me: Ummm, you might want your backpack.

LONG PAUSE.....DOOR OPENING

Him: Mom where's my backpack
