Wow, it sounds like life with my Ex husband! I would get these long, convaluted answers to a yes or no question. When I would say 'hey, this isn't a essay question, just tell me yes or no' he would do it all over again. The answer to my question was never in what he was saying to me. AAAHHHHhhh....... Did the kids eat? one did, two didn't. How hard is that?? I know where you are coming from, square. I know the frustration you are feeling.
