Yes, Shannon, your use of the lisp you had when referring to Brad HAS ceased to be funny, once you’ve imitated that lisp a thousand times. Toni seems to be pretending ignorance a to what’s going on.
I read this situation differently than many people. (I’m old, and grew up in a home where Shannon’s behavior would never have been tolerated -even by the siblings!). It shows maturity that Shannon recognizes that the pronunciation was incorrect, and she can say it the right way now. Her repeating it ad nauseum shows that she’s still doing her best at all times to aggravate someone who is taking care of her. I agree with those here who said it was never funny. Toni’s amusement at Brad’s frustration is something I don’t like. Okay, here’s hoping for different subject matter tomorrow (even Axel is preferable, lol).
Shame on Toni for snerking at Bwad/Brad’s discomfort. The Little Brat may now be able to pronounce an “R” (when she wants to), but she is still way too bratty for my taste….

Is Toni showing less maturity than Shannon? That’s scary.

Ah, so the so-called brat is growing into up; trolls will find a new track to hate on her I guess.

No, not funny—just a PITA!!
Right, “Bwad”??

Shannon is growing up. She’s finally able to see how annoying some of her behaviors are and decide to stop. I love Brad’s reaction and Toni’s giggle♡.
dadoctah over 2 years ago
Oddly enough, Shannon’s realization that it’s not funny any more is itself hilarious.

So, is Greg officially retiring “Bwad” or is this another rule he’ll forget in a month or two, the next time he wants Shannon to be “cute”?

Never was funny to Brad at any point in Shannon’s growing up.

It just dawned on me. Shannon reminds me of “helmet hair” character in DELBERT`S comics.
