I have decided that my difficult child just CANNOT tell the difference between fantasy and reality. I have had to monitor and take away video games in the past because he gets so entangled in it - makes me think of the movie Lawnmower Man (LOL).
I was wondering if everyone else's child is the same way or if it is just mine?
Let me give you an example of today: He came in today and said, "Mom! I could have had a wreck on the go-cart! I was driving and the tire started deflating and coming off the rim and then just went back on and reflated! I hit a stump and it flew into the air and nearly flipped three times but my steering got me back on track!"
My husband was out watching him the whole time (that is our rule, one of us watching or no one drives go-cart). husband said none of that happened. difficult child always talks about doing the "Matrix" all the time to avoid things. He cannot tell that a movie is fake!!! OMG! He BELIEVES everything ridiculous he sees and hears! Is my child the only one l ike this? He is 15 now!!!! Argh!
When he was younger, everyone said he had an active imagination - well, it is STILL active! (but his version of some things are absolutely hilarious!)
