Sound off

I think my boys have super sonic hearing.  This magic power only works when I go to the bathroom, otherwise they can't hear me ask/yell at them eighty gazillion times to pick up their shoes or whatever.  I was in my bedroom folding a load of laundry, Nathan was in the living room watching TV, Darren was on the computer and Justin was visiting with his brothers and trying to find trouble. 

I walk into the bathroom, pull down my pants and sit down to pee.  In walks Justin who then insists on opening the drawer that hold my brushes, hair ties, headbands, mirror, etc.  Then Darren walks in a few seconds later and starts trying to make Justin mad.  Nathan comes in a few seconds after that to ask me a question and I finally lose it.  I told them to get out and stay in the bedroom because I want to talk to them when I am done.

I explain that I need some privacy when I am going to the bathroom and that is not the time to ask me to get them something to drink, or ask if they can go outside or to show me something.  I told them that if I walked in on them going to the bathroom I always walk out and let them have some privacy.  They are no where to be found when work has to be done, but the second I sit down (on the couch, toilet) they are right there demanding something.
