My son has done that, or he will do the "What?" thing, he will just say what? over and over and over if he doesn't want to do what I am telling him or hear what I am saying. So now I just say, you heard me, go do it. He also loves to do the mumbling thing trying to get me to say what. So I just pretend I didn't hear a thing and keep staring at him till he speaks clearly. We got over the playing dumb thing by my treating him that way for a while. "oh you can't play with the other kids, cause you need help finding your shirt so you probably can't do that either and I don't have time to help you. This would infuriate him because he prides himself on being indipendant. For him his favorite thing is video games so he can't play them when he is not acting like a seven year old. I tell him that since he is pretending to be a two year old he can only do things a two year old can do. That means no video games and an early bed time and no trampoline, etc.
