Eeyore lives in a black and white world. Everything must be spelled out exactly for him, no one can make ANY assumptions. For example, the wrestling coach told the boys from last year's team that they could bring in their old shoes and sell them to the new kids. Eeyore insisted that he was going to take a bunch of his shoes to sell. Eeyore was not on the team last year. He doesn't have wrestling shoes. He was going to sell his dress shoes. So I'm the "bad guy" because I explain it to him. But if I don't explain it to him, then he gets embarrassed at school and it is worse.
We "close" our kitchen at night (psychologically as we have an open floor plan). This infuriates Eeyore. Despite being fed at least 4 meals per day and being allowed to eat as much as he wants at dinner (of cheap filler foods). We had to because he once ate ALL of the groceries that we had bought for the week. There really wasn't money to replace them.
He doesn't understand that we can't just go to the supermarket and take what we want. And why can't we just get more money from the ATM???
He is not Kanga. He is a typical teen with a very literal black and white view of the world. He is missing the joy of rainbows
