When ‘No’ Would Have Sufficed
On a recent trip to the grocery store, I conceded to buying a tub of ice cream for dessert that night. And hot fudge. And Nigel’s favorite popcorn. Then, as we rounded a corner, he noticed some huge sugar cookies, frosted bright orange, undoubtedly full of chemicals. Of course he asked for them.
Me: Don’t push your luck.
Nigel: Stop saying that I’m “pushing” my luck; I’m actually pulling it.
Sometimes his way of looking at things just makes more sense.

Oh, Nick is the exact same way. He always corrects me when he believe that my “figure of speech” is wrong and will tell me what’s right!! And he will always start with Stop saying that …
Sometimes I just have to stop myself from talking entirely!!

It is sooo amazing just how insightful kids with AS/ASD are. Oh the lessons we learn :0)

Did the cookies have sprinkles on top? Walmart and Sam’s Club makes these awesome frosted sugar cookies that taste like Funfetti cake. I really hope you bought them.

No sprinkles - just about an inch-thick layer of orange frosting. My teeth hurt looking at them. Fortunately hot fudge sundaes do not make my teeth hurt!
And about three minutes later Nigel informed me that he wanted a Slinky instead of the cookies.
