YES.
We remember, FarAway. And we also remember, and regrettably will prolly never forger our little Jodi -- the one who must one-up her mean&nasty opponent, oppressor and enemy, Juan the man. It was almost always, "Yes, mostly." Or "Not really" or "Yes and Suzy was there, too" or "Yes and no" or "No, not on that trip," ad nauseum. She just couldn't do what he wanted because she wanted to thwart that mean old man every chance she got. That was one way of showing the world how much smarter she was than anyone else, especially that ***hole asking her those stupid questions. And look where that got her.
And she prolly was the same way with her teachers in school, her mom & dad, and anyone else she didn't like and to whom she felt superior.
Exactly!! She always heard the opposite of what he asked. In her mind, he was asking whatever she felt like answering each time. If he asked her to elaborate, she'd offer something sullen and short. If he asked her to just answer "yes" or "no" she insisted on giving a dissertation.
She reminded me of when you ask a petulant child to "sit down, please" the child leaps up. If you say, "Fine, then stand" the child promptly sits down.
Little Einstein never figured out that that while she squawked in jailhouse talent shows, accepted gifts from ALV & Richard Samuels, sifted through attorneys every other month and generally created problems for herself, Juan Martinez was carefully and methodically setting an elaborate trap for her.
He understood her personality defects perfectly and he knew exactly how to handle her. She thought she was the spider and he was the fly.
She finally figured out who the spider was when it was too late.
