Anti-prolix
Ryan has started with the "I want"s. Not sure where he gets it. Probably picks it up at school, hanging out with the wrong sort. Perhaps during football practice.
Anyhoo, it drives Mommy batty. The gall! Of actually wanting something and telling us. In an altogether rude manner. We steer him towards the "I would like" version a la the British Regal manner circa late 18th century. Or just have him blast out the pleases, as in:
"Would you please sing E-I-E-I-O and on this farm he had a frog with a crown on it in the water please?"
We've also given him choices over the years, as if to pretend that he had any say in any matter. "Do you want the astronaut toothbrush or the car toothbrush?" "Ryan, would you like milk or water with dinner?"
So now he's doing it back to us.
"Ryan, lie down and put your head on the pillow."
"...the white one or the blue one?"
Ainsley also emphasized early in the dawning of the Age of language skills that she would like us to say "Yes, Ryan?" whenever he calls us, as opposed to "WHAT DAMMIT WHAT CAN'T YOU SEE I'M WATCHING LETTERMAN"
No, no. He's usually not up that late.
As opposed to "What?"
So it's what he now expects, and demands.
"Hey, Daddy?"
"Yo."
"...Not 'yo'. 'Hey, Daddy?'"
"HEll-lo!"
"...Not 'hello'. 'Hey, Daddy?'"
"mm-Hmmm?"
"...Not mm-hmm. 'Hey, Daddy?"
"Yes, Ryan."
"There you go."
My son. Actually telling me 'there you go." What a lad.
The downside is that after going through this little game, he's forgotten what he wanted to say in the first place.
