Yeah Yeah Yeahs

We are in a struggle to try and revert Lucy to her previous habit of saying "yes". Now she says "yeah" or "yeh-ya". We correct her with "yes" which she will then repeat but it seems a sysiphean struggle. Allison pushes the politeness words "yes sir" and "yes maam" which la luz will do but only when prompted. When she says the later it comes out sounding more like the Indian provence "Assam".
I think the deevolution of her vocabulary in this instance is due to the daycare.
(a better music oriented title would be "clap your hands and say YES MAAM" but I actually like Yeah Yeah Yeahs and don't like clap your hands and say yeah.)

I'm going to teach our kids to say Ay! Or Affirmative.

for some reason Mary came from school saying Yes M'am, and No, Sir; never the reverse :)
