This is more like what my kid does than what my spouse and I do.
The kid will yell for their mom or me across the house and I’ll yell back “come here if you need something, don’t just yell!” Then they’ll pause and yell “WHAT?!”
Or, even better, a few days ago my wife was laying in the living room while I was in my recliner. The kid yelled “MOM!” from the kitchen. I said “if you need mom come talk to her in here, don’t just yell across the house.” After a long period of silence, the kid ran into the living room, PAST THEIR CLEARLY VISIBLE MOTHER, and said “I don’t know where she is.”
