Please give me appropriate phrases or words in each situation below. Plus, if there are words other than the situations, tell me.

A: I like the way she thinks
B: Ah.. what did you say?
C: Hey where were you when I was talking? (or were you daydreaming?)
2. (Mom speaking to her child who can't concentrate his study)
Son, stop having random thoughts(petty thoughts?), and focus on your study!
