What's your name?
How old are you?
Where do you live?

Do they answer correctly? My ds offerings are:

Number 9
Playing in the garden
Green dress

Confused

Just tried this on my 3.9yr old:

Name: mispronounciation of her own name, but close enough.
Age: “I’m going to be 4 soon!” (Technically correctly I guess)
Where do you live; “in our house!” And when pressed as to where that was “in London” (which is true)

DS can't say his name, it comes outs as 'daa'. He can say 'dee' for three, but insists he's 'doo' (two) when he wants to be awkward, which is often. I can't understand what he's trying to say when he answers where he lives.

MamaGothel · 20/05/2020 13:18

Name: answered with her nickname
How old: held up 5 fingers, then 1, then said 35
Where did you live: THAT house (pointed, we are in the garden)

3y8m, speech delayed

3.4 and can answer them all but I have actively been teaching him since he was 3

Cooper88 · 20/05/2020 13:24

Name : either answers correctly or shouts I am Hulk and stomps his feet 🙄😂
Age: holds up 5 fingers and says 3
Where he lives: Home, or prison if pretending to be a policeman.
🤷🤷

Dd age 4, 1) not telling 2) not telling that either 3) go away I'm busy!

sproutsarenotjustforchristmas · 20/05/2020 13:26

Correct name, age and 'here' 😂

DarylDixonsHair · 20/05/2020 15:55

Some of these are so sweet!

DD could answer all 3 questions from just before 3 years old. Ds is a stubborn little sod who knows the answers but chooses not to divulge the information. If he ever got lost, I imagine the police bringing in SAS style interrogaters just to learn his name.

[his name]
"nothing!" (he does know!)
"our house" "our house is in [house location]"

KKSlider · 20/05/2020 17:01

DD, 3yo.

Name: gave her correct name
Age: "Three, I'm going to be older when it's my birthday again"
Where do you live: "At the house with you and daddy and " when I asked if she knows which house she gave me a garbled version if door number - half of the street name - door number again - and "last one on the left blue door" which is what I say when giving directions or when DH has the car and we get a taxi home.

lachy · 20/05/2020 17:21

DD answers correctly 99% of the time

We'd also coached her in those things and who to tell.

However it would depend on her mood, because sometimes she's adamant she's 6 (she's definitely only 4) and would tell you her name is either stinker, or fanny fernackerpan.

Trumpton · 20/05/2020 18:02

Name .? ... ummmmm . Gave correctly
Age .... ? Three ! Holding up 3 fingers .
Where do you live ? ... points .... when promoted gave village .

happytobemrsg · 20/05/2020 18:04

DS answered the first two questions correctly & knew the name of our road (not the number)
