Samisms: "Not Almost"


Recently when asked any question that requires a "yes" or "no" answer, Sam responds "not almost!" It's vagueness and ability to strike confusion into our hearts and minds at a time when we are exhausted and just want an answer and is both maddening and hilarious all at once.

"Sam, are you hungry?"

"Not almost!"

Ok then.

"Sam, do you have your pj's on and are you ready for bed?"

"Not. Almost."

Huh?

"Sam do you love me?"

"Not almost."

Thanks, you too.

You reminded me of your "Sam Hanna: A User's Guide" to help us care for 2-year-old Sam when Pete was born, and your Sam-speak translations of ma dis, ass, mlecks, and bom. Yes, I still have it.
