Whenever Sydney asks us a question now, and we don’t answer definitively, she tells us, “Yes, or No?”

Some examples:

Sydney: Mommy, do we have any Rice Crispies?
Emily: I’m not sure – we’ll have to go downstairs and check.
Sydney: Yes, or No?

Emily: Hey Sydney, you were supposed to put your dirty clothes in the basket.
Sydney: Oh, sorry Mommy. Did I forget?
Emily: It’s okay – I think you just got a little side-tracked.
Sydney: Mommy – Yes, or No?

Sydney: Mommy, can I have hot chocolate when we get home?
Emily: Well, we’ll have to see how late we get home.
Sydney: Yes, or No?

Hearing all the times she asks us the “yes or no” question makes me realize how many “in between” answers we give to her.
