I was just reading an article talking about learning conversation scripts. That reminded me of a funny story.
I took Meredith to the doctor to check out something or the other, whatever it was I can't remember anymore. What I do remember is that the doctor asked Meredith whether something on her body hurt. Meredith answered, "potentially," not in a sarcastic way, but in a matter of fact manner. The doctor and I laughed heartily and then explained to Meredith that the question the doctor asked was a "yes" or "no" question. Then we really had a belly laugh--Meredith responded by saying, "Whenever I ask my Dad a yes or no question, he answers 'potentially.'"
