    Literally

    Having a child with Aspergers will make you REALLY learn to say EXACTLY what you mean. I thought I was but apparently not!

    I had found the sparkling juice that I love for 1/2 price so I stocked up. I asked Eeyore to take all 12 four packs (6 cranberry and 6 blueberry) and put one of each into the fridge and the rest on the floor of the pantry. Yep, you guessed it, he took ONE CAN out of EACH of the 12 packs and put them in the fridge instead of taking one pack of each flavor and putting it in the fridge.

    Eeyore still doesn't get what I wanted him to do. I'm laughing too hard to explain it.

    That is EXACTLY what gfg1 would do. Having to say exactly what you mean can get tiresome but if you don't, you never know what you're going to get.

    Literally

    Oh golly I am on here right now cause my gfg and I just got into a huge blowout about this!! I keep a coin jar in the kitchen and call it my Sonic fund. I looked in it and lots of quarters were missing. I asked gfg if he took my money. He said no. PC said yes he did. So I asked again and the answer was no that he did not take it. I went and looked in his penny bank and miraculously he has come into quite a hoard of quarters. So I ask him where he got the quarters. His response," I found them in your Sonic fund"
    @#?*.
    So when I try to explain that he did. It find then he took them without permission it seemed like I was speaking a foreign language. Apparently if something is found, it's his, regardless of origin, location, or anything else that might make it wrong.
    I wish he came with a decoder!!!!
    Me-28 wife & momma. Quite sassy, ornery,and outspoken.
    DH-32-stepdad to GFG big kid & pc middle kid, daddy to PC little kid. An OEF/OIF Marine veteran with severe PTSD and TBI. Too many meds to count.
    GFG- Big Kid- 10 years old. Was diagnosed with ADHD at age 2 & Asperger's at age 9. Medications include Vyvanse & Imiprimine.
    PC- Middle Kid- 7 years old. Ornery & mischievous like his momma. My comedic relief. Very neurotypical.
    PC- Little Kid- 4 years old. Absolutely a lil Diva. Quite sassy.
