Me: Mac, what did we do today?
Mac: Do.
Me: What did we do?
Mac: Do.
Me: Where did we go?
Mac: Go.
Me: Did we go to the store?
Mac: Ride truck store! (Reference to riding the truck cart at the grocery store.)
Me: What did we buy at the store?
Mac: Buy.
Me: Yes, that's right we bought something. What did we buy?
Mac: Buy.
Me: Did we buy bananas?
Mac: Bananas and apples!
He also answers "yes ma'am", "yup", or "uh-huh" to all yes-or-no questions. (He never answers "no" to anything.) So, if I'm trying to figure out if he's done something he shouldn't have done...I ask and he always answers yes.
Me: Mac, did you eat play dough?
Mac: Uh-huh.
Me: Mac, did you make baby Arden cry?
Mac: Yup.
Me: Mac, did you throw the ball in the house?
Mac: Yes Ma'am.
Mac: Yes Ma'am.
So this helps nothing. It's a brilliant strategy if you think about it. Always say yes...mom doesn't know when to believe you...but can't accuse you of denying anything.
