The green/red color is a reasonable suggestion, so long as it's 
customizable.  I for one, would find it pretty ugly if I couldn't change 
the color of the button, once I've gotten used to the orientation of the 
buttons.  After all, that's what makes themes so nice.

On the other hand, we could always prompt with multiple popups.  After 
you select no/yes, you get another popup that inquires:  "are you sure, 
yes/no",  After you answer that one, you get another popup that 
inquires: "do you have a note from your mother? yes/no"..... :)
