Listen To The Mocking Voice
Mrs. C has a
mocking voice. You know, that high
pitched adolescent way of repeating what you say in a way that makes it sound
trivial, whiney or petulant. A mocking
voice. She has been using it a lot lately.
“Could
you turn the volume up, I can barely hear the movie?”
“Could
you turn the volume up, I can barely hear the movie?”
“Stop
that!”
“Stop
what?”
“Stop
that mocking voice.”
“Stop
that mocking voice.”
“Again!
Stop that”
“Why”
“I don’t like
it…I hate the mocking voice!”
“I hate
the mocking voice!”
“Just
stop it.”
“I like
the mocking voice.”
“I like
the mocking voice.”
“You can’t
use the mocking voice because it doesn’t bother me. I own the mocking voice!”
“How do
you own a voice?”
“I just
do.”
“That’s
not fair!”
“That’s
not fair.”
“You know
I hate you don’t you?”
“No, you
don’t!”
“Well, I
hate the mocking voice!”
“Well, I
hate the mocking voice!”
“STOP
THAT!”
“Ok, but
just for tonight…tomorrow you shall be mocked again.”
Is anyone
else tormented by ‘The Mocking Voice?’
Based on previous comments it seems people completely do not understand the playful mocking voice game of a wife who is not really being mean.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
No mocking torment here. I never allowed my kids to do that either.
ReplyDeletei had to google for the meaning of this before comment as i wanted to be sure i know what you said though i got it right thankfully
ReplyDeleteyes my late aunt (sister of my mother) had mocking voice ,she was an arrogant person so everybody she talked would thought she is being little disrespecting
now one of her daughter had same tone for speaking with others
i find it uncomfortable
i hope Mrs C returns to her sweet kind tone again and soon :)
Might, just might have used it when I was younger. Cracked up when Mrs. C said she "owned" the mocking voice.
ReplyDeleteNo mocking voice but does sarcasm count? My last name is Starkey and at work one of the Docs nicknamed me "Starcasm"...I think he didn't care for my sarcasm voice!
ReplyDeleteWe are peaceful here. Mocking seems to be a favorite word in the news of late.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Joe. ☺
No mocking voice here, from either of us. Upon reflection, I would have to say neither one of us using it is probably one of the three biggest reasons we aren't divorced!
ReplyDeleteIt always seems so disrespectful to me, so no mocking voice here.
ReplyDeleteI would be insane if I had to listen to that. Sounds like a five year old. Except you can control them. Arrested development.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she'll stop with the mocking voice and just go back to "JERK!"
ReplyDeleteNo mocking voice here. I am tormented by THE DENIAL. "No I didn't. No you didn't. Surrrre... You don't remember anything!" Hick always declares the opposite of anything I say that he doesn't like.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. Mocking people is just a nasty thing to do.
