... but not an answer in sight.

"Ella, would you like water or milk?"
"Milk!"

Seems a sure thing, but I know a thing or two, so decide to double-check.

"Ella, would you like milk or water?"
"Water!"

Uh-huh. It's the "parrot-the-last-word" choice, which isn't a choice at all. Put the wrong thing in that cup, no matter what she said she wanted, and I'll hear about it. With annoyance and indignation. Adults can be so thick, really.

"Ella, what should I put in your cup?"

"Cup!"

"Ella. See your cup? What would you like to drink?"

"Drink!"

In case you're curious, she had milk.
