No.

I’ve been practicing and perfecting it quietly in my carseat for some time, but now is the time to unleash my most powerful word yet… No.

I have two versions. One is quite casual, and I use it to answer almost any question that is asked of me.

Momma: “Liza, are you hungry?”
Me: “Nah.” (Though I’m clearly shoving crackers in my mouth.)

Daddy: “Liza, do you want to take a bath tonight?”
Me: “Nah.” (Even though he knows very well I jump at any chance for a bath.”)

It’s a good thing they know to ignore me while I perfect my use of this word, or I would never get cleaned or fed. I’m not sure why I like it so much. Perhaps because I hear Momma say it to Daddy so often.

I also have a more angry version of “No no no no no no no” which I scream from my crib when they refuse to take me out of it at 1:00am. It goes hand-in-hand with bink throwing.
