Sometimes, when I ask Reid what she did at daycare, she answers, “Fun”. I’m not sure if she is being efficient because my second question is often, “Did you have fun?” or if she just doesn’t have the words to describe what she did or if she just hasn’t learned to say, “Nothing” to get me out of her business. Maybe she had fun and that was enough to say. Sometimes I will ask her if she went on the slide, played in the sand, etc. and she generally answers in the affirmative. Unfortunately, she also says “un-hunh” to things which I know to be untrue in fact but may be true in terms of what she wishes for.
So, I have to choose between brevity or the possibility of falsehood.
