AK's new thing? Instead of saying "Yes" when responding affirmatively to a question she very clearly says"Yup!"Another new thing that she does constantly causes confusion.
Me: "Do you want some cheese?"
AK: "No."
Me, repeating, "Okay, so you don't want cheese?"
AK: "Yup."
Writing this out, I realize it is obvious that she is responding to my follow up question accurately, but in practice I get all fatumuled and then think I am supposed to give her cheese. Because most people would respond "No," to the follow up question (reinforcing their first statement), but she takes me literally.
My point? Despite her lazy speech, the kid is smart. Real smart. And I am screwed.
