\u00a0Referring to Dad, who was on her left. \u00a0Mom got a great big grin on her face and pointed to the No side. \u00a0That got a good laugh out of all of us outside with her. \u00a0Then as a follow-up question, Angie asked, &#8220;Do you like this guy next to you?&#8221; \u00a0And still smiling, she pointed to Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time Mom is able to say a word or two when we ask her a question, but sometimes she just can&#8217;t vocalize, so the Yes\/No board had been quite useful.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1314\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_20140309_085615-2.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1314\" data-attachment-id=\"1314\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/2014\/03\/09\/yesno-board\/img_20140309_085615-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_20140309_085615-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3264,2448\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Nexus 5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1394355376&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.97&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.001628664495114&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_20140309_085615 (2)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Mom&#8217;s Yes\/No Board&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_20140309_085615-2-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_20140309_085615-2-1024x768.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1314\" alt=\"Mom's Yes\/No Board\" src=\"http:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_20140309_085615-2-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_20140309_085615-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_20140309_085615-2-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_20140309_085615-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mom&#8217;s Yes\/No Board<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to share a funny story from yesterday. \u00a0While we were sitting out on the back porch, Kay had a great idea: since Mom has a hard time speaking, especially when she&#8217;s tired, we made her a little board she can use to point to her answer of Yes or No. \u00a0I quickly made [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[270,13],"tags":[274],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8WrW-l9","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1311"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1311"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1315,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1311\/revisions\/1315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
