Sneaky Thieves & Autism Hilarities
Yesterday those conniving squirrels tipped over my birdfeer post and made off with my peanut feeder. Today I found it on the neighbor's porch, hidden under a deck chair and nearly empty. It's back in its rightful place with a woodpecker happily filling his red belly.
Hugsband has a supersoaker, with which he eagerly banishes the squirrels from our porch- squirting and yelling "Hey, fatty!! Take off!!” Obviously, the weekend only guard-thing isn't working. He may need to quit his job to man the guns full time. After all, who wants to see a titmouse go hungry because some obese, greedy squirrel downed a whole gallon of sunflower seeds?
There is one exception. We allow "One Arm" to eat his fill without watery retribution.
A joke from a 10-year old with autism:
him- Why can't the 11-year old go see the pirate movie?
me- I don't know. Why not?
him- Because it's rated AAAArrrrrgh!
me- (laughs) Where did you hear that?
him- From the Pirate on Sponge Bob.
A 7-year old with autism, when instructed to ask his friend a question:
him- Hey, buddy, what's your third favorite girlfriend from Ms.L's class?
friend- (without hesitation) Sally
him- Yeah, she's a good one
