The eternal question

"Is person derson? No or yes?"

This is what Laura asked me in the van the other day. Being such an intriguing question (which we have no idea about the meaning of), it's been asked numerous times in our house the last few days. Sometimes Laura informs me that I'm person derson but she's not, and sometimes she's person derson but I'm not.

So what do you think -- Is person derson? No or yes?
