At least one of my daughters has picked up that same habit from their mother: If I holler, "Stop!" that means they have to finish whatever they're doing really fast.

I saw her about to put a pack of steaks down on a chair and was worried it would leak blood on the upholstery, so I said, "Wait a second!" She threw the pack down and said, "What?! What is it?!"
