Day 27: Yes/No

Today we were to see how long we could go without using the words yes or no. That rhymes.

I failed. Miserably.

Really only because I totally forgot about doing it. It is SO hard sometimes to remember the task, especially went it's not one specific action or event that you know you will have to do. If it's something taking place throughout the entire day, it's just so hard to remember about it. I had it written down in my planner, but I would only remember to do it whenever I got my planner out. And I wasn't talking to anyone then, so then I would forget about it approximately 2 seconds later. It was really bad.

I ended up just asking my sister to ask me a lot of yes or no questions just to see how long I could last without using yes or no. I remember the local radio station here used to play that game, except the deejay would ask the questions to a random caller, and if they got through it all without screwing up, then would win something. I was always convinced that I could do it, and one day I finally was lucky caller number 7, and I'm pretty sure I said "yes" to the first question he asked. I was soooo mad. But anyways...here's a lot of the answers I used today with my sister:

"It depends."
"Sometimes."
"Of course!"
"Of course not!"
"Possibly."
"I'm not too sure."
"It's okay/alright."
"Duh!"
"What do you think?"
"Only on a full moon."
"I'm not even answering that question."

Ok, so some of the last answers are kind of stretching it...but I say they pass in my book.
