The word "no".  It can mean many things.  Of course there is the obvious, like "no, I don't want to go to the store" or no, it wasn't me that backed my car in the garage with the bike on the roof".   But aside from the typical meaning, who would have thought it could mean so many other things such as "Emmi, what is the lion doing in this book?",  "No" or "Emmi, what are you carrying?",d  "No" or "Emmi, how does that mouth full of sand taste", "No".  Imagine if in the adult world the acceptable answer to any question would be "no".  "Jacob, we have a 9am conference call to discuss the North American refresh", "No" or "You owe $20000 in taxes", "No" or "Congradulations Mrs. and Mr. Burns, you're pregnant", "No (*that's a little joke)".
