Some days, Ivy gets a weird verbal tic where she has to say "Guess what?" thirty times before she's allowed to say anything else.....
Ivy in the car today after the doctor's office:
IVY: Mommy?
ME: What?
IVY: Guess what?
*I pause as I wait for her to tell me "what."
IVY: Mommy!!
ME: What?
IVY: I said guess what!
*Another dramatic pause as I waited.
IVY: MOMMY!!!!
ME: What?
IVY: Guessssss WHAT!
*Still waiting.
IVY: Mommy Tracee!!!!!
ME: What?????
IVY: I said "guess what" and you didn't say anything!!
ME: I was waiting on you to tell me 'what.'
IVY: But, Mommy, when I say "Guess what" you're supposed to guess what I'm going to say.
ME: How can I guess? I don't know what you're going to say.
IVY: (in a stage whisper) When I say "Guess what," you just say, "What?" Okay?
ME: Sure.
IVY: Mommy?
ME: Yes, Ivy.
IVY: Guess what!
ME: WHAT?
*Silence.
ME: Ivy, what????
IVY: Welllllll........Oh, I forgot.

C'mon Mommy Tracee! Get it together and start guessing! Or just say, "Chicken butt." Guess what? LOVE this. Thank u!
Sounds like you need a brick wall to slam your head against too. :-)
I like the other comment too. Just start guessing random things. That's what I do sometimes when the kids say "Guess what" It completely throws them off. Gotta say something completely off the wall though to make them think a second.
