[Conducting a speech and language evaluation for a toddler, barely 2 years old. Asking her parents yes/no questions for an evaluation questionnaire.]
Me: Does she follow directions with different kinds of functional action words, like jump, throw, or run?
Parents: She knows drop it–
[Me: thinking that means to drop an object that she is holding in her hand]
Parents: –like Drop it Like it’s Hot. Sweetie, drop it! Drop it! Drop it, honey!
