My son Dean has Down Syndrome and he's very bright (a mom can brag, can't she?) But at age 2 he wasn't talking much yet, in fact he was still using sign language quite a bit. But he had some words, and one of them was "yes". Actually it was "yea".
So one lazy morning Dean, his dad and I were sitting on the bed talking. We wanted to engage Dean in the conversation, so I started with the typical
"Do you love Mommy?"
Dean smiles, "yea"
"Do you love Daddy?"
"yea"
"How about (brother) Ryan?"
Still smiling "yea"
"Do you want some milk?"
"yea"
Dean's dad winks at me and asks Dean
"Is your hair on fire?"
Without missing a beat he chirps "yea"
