Driving home at a red light. We see a teen punk girl with cool spiky hair. Me "Wow, she looks badass." Dd, 10, echos "she looks ba-ass." Me, "Do you know what that means?"
Long pause. Dd "She looks like a fish." |

Cute!
I had to wash ds's teddy bear last week, without warning. He was very upset (he's not yet 4 and teddy is his best friend). He sat in front of the washing machine for a while, and when it reached the spin cycle he got very interested, creeping up close and eventually announcing "I think teddy is getting very very dizzy now!". Theory of mind? Who needs it when you have Theory of Teddy Bear Mind! |

My son's very direct about things, often to the point of rudeness though he doesn't get why it's considered rude, and I've lost track off all the embarrassing things that have come out of his mouth. Three do stick out, however:
1. He asked a boy in his Jiu-Jitsu class to if he could "please take a shower before class because you don't smell that great".
2. Went out to dinner with my four closest friends and when everybody got there, my son looked around at us and said, "Hey, I'm the only skinny one here".
3. We went to Chuck-E-Cheese one day and I had told him beforehand we wouldn't be spending much money because I'm on a budget and when we got inside he asks the young man giving out the hand-stamps if they have any really cheap games because "my mom doesn't have any money". |

DS had me nearly crying with laughter with this one.
DS: "Mom, what does a liver do?"
Me: "Well, it's a kind of filter."
DS: "Wish I had one by my MOUTH"
It took me a minute. |

A guy at the pharmacy walked up to my 4-year-old and said, "Hey, Little Man!"
He said, "I'm not a little man: I'm a KID!" |

I made him a ham sandwich, and he wanted a peanut butter and jelly. So he said I was "being abusive" to him and stood outside in the pouring rain until I dragged him inside.
He does have ADHD though, so he can be pretty impulsive. |
When my oldest was nine I made him a sandwich without asking him how he wanted it cut. I cut it in four squares instead of triangles. He informed me that this meant I did not love him, since I did not consider his feelings. |

Youngest (just turned 4) has a new and delightful habit when his will is thwarted. Like when we ask him to stop jumping on furniture, for example.
He'll shake a finger at us and SCREAM "I am so MAD at you right now!" This, from a child with severe speech delays. At least he's expressing his feelings.... |

I thought this was a humorous bit of literal thinking, though maybe it was one of those "you had to be there" moments. We were watching a movie last night and at the end when the credits began to roll the first thing that came up said
"For Ellie"
DS said "Sorry Ellie, but we got this one".
It took me a couple of beats then I explained to him that the person who made the movie was thinking about Ellie when he made it. It didn't mean that particular tape (yes we still have a VCR) was meant to be Ellie's. |

This isn't words. Hope that's o.k.
I came home this morning at 7:15 after an errand I had to do.
My son opened the door to the garage and started jumping up and down and smiling. |

I heard my fourteen year old talking to my five year old niece about Stephen Hawking in the other room. My fourteen year old is an Aspie and very interested in theoretical physics and astronomy.
Niece: Who is Stephen Hawking?
Son: He is a very important physicist, a theoretical physicist in fact. And he studies how the universe works.
Niece: Oh that's neat! (We have actually had the kids watch his TV specials, but the Niece finds them utterly boring and so still does not really understand.)
Son: Also he is paralyzed, so he needs a wheel chair to get around.
Niece: Awwww
Son: And he uses a computer to talk, no don't feel bad for him his voice sounds really cool. Its kind of like my Kindle in text to speech mode. |

My four year old disagreed with what her father told her.
She repeated one of his key phrase: I am bigger than you so I must be right!
Her dad pointed out she was not bigger
To which she replied: I wanna be bigger soon |

Went to the in laws yesterday afternoon and my 6yr old daughter was playing upstairs with her grandad whilst we were talking with the mother in law. Eventually father in law came down and we asked if they'd finished playing and he said yes but she'd upset him a bit by saying he was fat (he was just jokingly telling us, he wasn't really upset). I told him not to take it personally she will just be very blunt about things and doesn't think about how it may upset people(before I realised he was jokingly mentioning it). She came downstairs and she denied saying it, her exact words "I DID NOT call him fat...I just said he needed to lose a little weight" then he said that she didn't say he needed to lose weight at all, just that he was fat. She stormed off upstairs shouting that he'd made her upset now, I waited 5 minutes to let her cool off before going up and this is what was said;
Daughter was hiding behind the curtains in the bedroom..
Me: Are you going to come downstairs and play?
Her: NO! Grandad's made me upset, he lied about me!
Me: I think it was just a misunderstanding, why don't you tell me what was said so we can figure out what happened?
Her: He said I called him fat when I didn't!
Me: Okay what EXACTLY did you say?
Her: I just said that he needed to lose a bit of weight and that (whispers and expresses using wide arm movements) he was a little fat
Me: So you did say he was fat?
Her: No I didn't!!!!
Me: Okay....You said he was a little fat but you didn't mean it in a bad way?
Her: Yes, why doesn't he understand that?!
Me: Well it's different for people like grandad, me and you think in a similar way so I understood that it was probably just a misunderstanding and you didn't mean it the way you said it
Her: Okay
Me: So shall we go down and play with grandad now?
Her: Okay....but he is a little fat isn't he
Me: (whispering) He may need to lose a little weight but your not supposed to say that because it can hurt his feelings okay?
Her: Okay mummy, I won't tell him he's fat anymore
We go downstairs, she smiles at grandad and says
"Sorry grandad, I didn't mean to upset you about being fat, I won't tell you that your fat anymore even though you are, so then you don't have to be upset.... Can we play hide and seek? I'll hide you count to 50....."
