No. It's the new Yes.


Why does she say "no" to everything? 'Cause it's fun to say. It's spunkier than "yes." And the grown-ups know that you don't really mean it all the time. As a father of three once told me, back before I had kids, "No isn't a word. It's a way of life."

Textbook example-- this morning, 7:00 a.m., the kitchen. Audrey holds out her cup and says to me, "I don't want any orange juice... in this cup."

Yes'm.

Right....and I DON'T like Audrey's cute little red shirt, and I DON'T want to go trick-or-treating with her on Hallowe'en!! And I am NOT sewing little funky decorations on the rim of my purple witch hat. :-)
