They (or at least the Older Monkey) takes 'shut up' to mean 'let me finish' and doesn't get all 'he's being rude and I must go have a hissy fit'.
Also .. thank God for my wife. My boys started the school day off with a spirited wrassling match in the living room: I can't imagine what it would be like without her around to impart a civilizing influence.
Put the CD in then ..

.. shutdown the computer . .
You mean turn it off

Shut up - I'm trying to tell you that.
