are you all done!

Please note the lack of a question mark in the title of this post. When Kenny says, "Are you all done" he doesn't say it as a question (most of the time). Instead, he uses it as a statement.

After a session on the potty, Overboard and I will ask Kenny, "are you all done?" This is to see if he's done his business and is ready to get off the potty. Kenny has taken this to mean that the statement "are you all done" (not the question) is the proper response/announcement for being, in fact, all done on the potty.

Furthermore, Kenny generally starts off by announcing, "are you all done." If he is not immediately offered assistance in dismounting from the potty, he raises his voice and again announces, "are you all done." Subsequent statements are made at increasing decibels until he is angrily shouting, "ARE YOU ALL DONE! ARE YOU ALL DONE! ARE YOU ALL DONE!"

It'd be cute if he wasn't so agitated. Okay, it's still pretty cute. But no one likes to be yelled at, whether it's grammatically correct or not.
