My 14 year old, when I ask him about his homework.

"Hey, bud, where are you at on those history notes?"

"That's over now."

"What do you mean, 'that's over now'? Did you finish them, or can you no longer turn them in because they're too late? Or what? What do you mean?"

"That's. Over. Now."

"Go to your fucking room."

The first step to explaining it clearly is verifying they heard what you said.

Instead of saying "What", you should say "I don't know what xxxx is."

On the flip side, if you heard what someone said but you didn’t quite understand what they meant, say something like “please elaborate” or “I don’t understand” rather than “what?”
