I've heard Layla's drop-in day care provider at the Y ask her that more than once. It usually comes about when Layla is about to go down the mini slide head first. When Ms. Lynn asks Layla that question she usually doesn't respond but also does not proceed to slide down head first.
So, I've decided to give the question a try when Layla is about to be naughty. Inevitably her answer to me is "good choice" and she goes on her merry way (unless I try some other equally ineffective method to moderate her behavior.)
Even more annoying, Layla has now taken to throwing the question back in my face. When I turned off the TV at the end of Sesame Street, an action she apparently didn't like, out comes "was that a good choice or a bad choice, mommy?". And worse: when I was abouto to steal a bite of her mac and cheese, she looks me straight in the eye and asks "is that a good choice or bad choice?". It was a bad choice, kid. But it sure tasted good.
