I was the youngest of four children in a house that also contained various animals. I would patiently wait for my mother to go down the list to me. I'm not so patient now (since it not USUALLY that I'm in trouble) so when she starts down a list of names or calls me the dog or cat's name I respond without waiting. The funny thing is my siblings and I have "become our mother!" My sister often calls me by her daughter's name and visa versa. Same with my brother. The animals hopefully respond to tone more than name since Edwina gets called Leslie, Gavin gets called KC etc. Strangely though it only happens when the family is together.
