When someone asks you, 'would you like orange juice?' The answer would most likely be yes or no, right? Well not at my house.
"Do you want orange juice?"
"It's gone! You can't tell me what to do." ( said loudly and with feeling)
You would think that if I offered, it most likely means that we still have orange juice. And if I was trying to tell him what to do I would have used a different vocabulary.

You must remember you come from a family where it is deemed acceptable, and maybe even amusing, to ask, "Do you want some watermelon?" And then follow it with, "So do I. I wish we had some." That is in fact the title to the book about our family "Do You Want Some Watermelon". Hence the confusion...
I read about that in the Portage Dispatch!
