Take your plate into the kitchen, please.
Take it downstairs when you go.
Don't leave it there, take it upstairs.
Is that yours?
Don't hit your brother.
I'm talking to you.
Just a minute please, can't you see I'm talking.
I said, don't interrupt.
Did you brush your teeth?
What are you doing out of bed?
Go back to bed.
What do you mean there's nothing to do?
Go outside.
Read a book.
Turn it down.
Get off the phone.
Tell your friend you'll call him back. Right now!
Hello. No, she's not home.
She'll call you when she gets home.
Take a jacket.
Take a sweater.
Take one anyway.
Someone left his shoes in front of the tv.
Get the toys out of the hall.
Get the toys out of the bathtub.
Get the toys off the stairs.
Do you realize that could kill someone?
Hurry up.
Hurry up, everyone is waiting.
I'll count to ten, then we're going without you.
Did you go to the bathroom?
If you don't go, you're not going.
I mean it.
Why didn't you go before you left?
Can you hold it?
What's going on back there?
Stop it.
I said, Stop it!
I don't want to hear about it.
Stop it or I'm taking you home right now.
That's it. We're going home.
Make your bed.
Clean up your room.
Set the table.
I need you to set the table.
Don't tell me it's not your turn.
Please move your chair into the table.
Sit up.
Just try a little. You don't have to eat the whole thing.
Stop playing and eat.
Don't play with your food.
Move your glass. It's too near the edge.
More what?
More, please...that's better.
Just eat one bite of salad.
I'm not giving you mushrooms.
I've taken all the mushrooms out....See?
Is your homework done?
Stop yelling. If you want to ask me something, come here.
STOP YELLING. IF YOU WANT TO ASK ME SOMETHING, COME HERE!
I'll think about it.
Ask your father.
We'll see.
Don't sit too close to the television, it's not good for your eyes.
Don't throw things.
Put it down.
Put it down now!
Do you know you could put someone's eye out with that thing?!
Go to your room.
No, ten minutes are not up.
One more minute.
How many times have I told you not to do that?
Calm down.
Calm down and start over.
Is that the truth?
Fasten your seat belt.
Did everyone fasten their seat belt?

I'm sorry, that's the rule.

....I'm sorry, that's the rule.

........I'm sorry, that's the rule.
