NOT

Noam has recently honed some new styles of argumentation. Shades of Aunt Debra on the debate team, perhaps? We're not sure where he gets it from, but we just wanted to share a few of his newest linguistic treasures.
- When Eema says, for example: "I am going to cook dinner now," Noam says: "no, NOT!" (and so on and so forth)
- When Eema says: "we don't put rice in our cup of water," Noam says: "yes, do!" (and so on and so forth)
- When Eema says: "that's not funny, "Noam grins and says: "funny!!"

Just thought I'd share. It's sort of cute, only....not.

I'm just impressed that he's mastered periphrastic do so early in his career as a speaker of English.

Yay historical syntax!
