Have you seen the video of the man asked to spell ‘yes’ and ‘eyes’? If not, do yourself a favor and google it. You can thank me later. (Just make sure you watch it more than once, because like most videos, it’s probably only funny with repetition.)
The man’s wife asks him how to spell y-e-s. Which he successfully does. “Yes.” She then asks him how to spell e-y-e-s. To which he repeatedly responds, “Ee-Yes.” The man’s earnest expression, his confusion, and his wife’s laughter tickle my funny bone every time. So much so that one day, several months ago, I introduced my kids to it. After explaining why it was so funny, my 7 and 5 year old children took to using E-Yes! On a frequent basis. So much so that our near two year old will shout it too. Someone asks how to spell something? E-Yes! The youngest is shouting NO on repeat? E-Yes! Can’t figure out what someone is trying to say? E-Yes! Whatever the scenario, there’s a E-Yes for you. I consider it one of my parenting wins: instilling E-Yes! into our daily lives. Yes please! Or should I say: E-Yes!?
