[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 482519, member: 3907"] Duct tape over the mouth? (Kidding, I swear...though I have been tempted) Actually, a couple of things that have worked for me and my loquacious difficult child: 1) Industrial strength ear plugs. They're bright orange, so he can see them sticking out of my ears. When I've had enough and I've given 3 reminders that I don't want to hear him talk his every thought, I put them in and go about my business. 2) Singing and dancing, as only an Embarrassing Mom can manage. I take whatever he's saying to me, set it to music and start singing it back to him and dancing along (usually Travolta-style disco). He either starts laughing (which is at least a nice change from the talking), or he gets frustrated and wanders away. Other than that, I don't have an answer. But I do feel your pain. [/QUOTE]
