It could be sleepwalking. My little bro does it all the time. He can answer questions, follow directions, argue, anything. The other night, I was in our living room, when I heard him come downstairs. I walked out just in time to see him turn around and start to go back upstairs. I stopped him and asked:
"What did you come down for?"
"I don't know!"
"Are you sleepwalking?"
"No." He laughs like he's annoyed.
He walks all the way up the stairs, and walks into his room. He walks back out about 2 seconds later, and comes back downstairs. I ask him:
"Are you sure you're not sleepwalking?"
"YES!"
"Ok."
He walks down to the basement door, and turns on the light. I didn't want him waking up my other bro who sleeps in the basement, so I grabbed his arm, and told him to come back. He says:
"HEY! STOP!"
I tell him shhhhh. I guide him into the bathroom (usually when he sleep walks he has to go to the bathroom).
When he comes back out he doesn't remember any of it, and convinces me he's not sleepwalking, and if he was I woke him up when I grabbed his arm. Then he goes up to his room and tells my other brother the whole conversation ("She thought I was sleepwalking, and I kept telling her I wasn't!").
The next morning he didn't remember any of it, and it turns out he was sleepwalking the entire time. He will do whatecer you say, so we give him simple instructions like "Go downstairs and turn right. go down the hall and turn left."
So, it could be sleepwalking.
