When someone teases you, just say "Yes, it is!" and play along 🍉

Getting Upset

If you get upset when teased, your reaction is fun, so they tease you again.

Play Along

At those times, it seems good to play along: "Yes, it is!"

For Example

For example, if someone says, "Your shirt looks like a watermelon," you say, "Yes! Didn't you know I love watermelon?"

⚡ TRY IT
Teasing battle: can you play along?
Hey! Can I say something? 😏 Your shirt looks like a watermelon! 🍉 Your letters look like worms! 🪱 Your clothes look like a ninja's! Ha ha! Look at your face! 😆 …Oh. OK. 😶 Yawn… You're no fun. Bye! 💤 So fun! See you tomorrow! 😆 Hmm… Maybe 1 more time. 🤔
🤔 … 😤 It does NOT! 😎 Yes! Didn't you know I love watermelon? 😤 Stop it! They don't! 😎 Yes. It's a family tradition. 😤 I am NOT a ninja! 😎 Shu shu shu! I am a ninja of Iga.
Pick your answer. Can you make the parrot bored?
🍃 The parrot got bored and flew away. You win!
🙂 Almost! Play along a little more.
😆 The parrot loves teasing you now. Try playing along!
They Stop

The other person loses interest and stops teasing you.

Willow Style

Just like a willow lets the wind pass.
