I'm Dr. Becky and this is good inside.

He keeps bringing the doorbell and I said, please stop bringing the doorbell and he looks

at me and you know, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

and defiance over almost everything, it gets really grating.

or brush their teeth and then instead of they're doing it, they look you dead in the eye and say,

We'll be back in a minute.
