The Jada Who Cried Wolf

Don't know where she picked this up, but Jada now often says two things: "I'm tired" and "I hurt the ear." 100 percent of the time she says these things she doesn't mean them. Which is a shame, because it would help us greatly to know if she was ready for bed or if she had an earache. So we've just had to patiently repeat her words so she knows we've heard her, and then go about our business. But someday, she will be tired or her ear really will hurt, and we won't know. Just like the boy who cried wolf.
