Your experience with John sounds exactly the same-- a little one racking his brain through all the "correct responses" that we give them, in blind hope that the one he picks is the right answer. Kelly-- I need work on the questions too! Often I feel like my questions sound stilted or too pushy (particularly with David, who resists such tactics). Bethel is fun because I can (must) be direct. Just my style! Lyn–

"John, what do you need to say?" (John, brightly, right on cue) "Thank you!" (Lyn wondering whether to laugh or bang her head against the wall.) "No, John, we say thank you for a nice meal. After we burp we say 'excuse me.' John, say, 'excuse me.'" (John) "Excuse me."
