cherylswope Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 What a great topic idea! I once kept a "Quips & Quotes" journal, because we rarely remember the unique matter-of-fact phrasing, unless we write the words when they occur. Our son (on the spectrum) is now 19, but his mind still surprises us. Recently he came home from work wearing shorts with no belt. He had worn pants to work, but changed due to the heat. "Where is your belt?" At work. "What is it doing there?" Holding up my jeans.

Heathermomster Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 DS is 14 yo and can be sarcastic. There's a guy on the radio station that we listen to with a very annoying voice. DS regularly makes a funny face, curls his lips backs, and speaks gruffly saying, "I talk like this because I have sausages shoved up my nose!" The outbursts are usually unexpected. He just walks around the house mocking the guy. He will modify the outbust over dinner to whatever his sister happens to be eating. Sorry, but that is all I have right now.

suenos Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 So when my DS was 4 he and DH went to our local, small grocery store. DH came home with DS looking totally shell shocked. He told me what happened. DS, as usual, got one of the little kids' shopping carts that the store provides. This time DS tried to put a gallon of milk in it. Too heavy for him, so he set it down hard...it busted and started leaking. DH headed to DS to try to take it from him and DS (probably worried he did the wrong thing!) took off running...with the cart of leaking milk. So there's DH trying to catch up to him and now hollering at him to stop and there's DS running for his life with his trail of milk. DH said it took a store employee to help corner DS and by then every last aisle had been hit (it's not a big supermarket). Not "clean up on aisle 4" but "clean up whole store." By the time DH corralled DS and got him thru the checkout line he said there was like a half dozen employees mopping. Before poor DH got halfway through the story I was laughing so hard I was crying. Finally, DH relaxed and started laughing too. I was so like, "Man, better you than me, buddy." This experience is our go-to comparison for "challenging" times while out and about. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storygirl Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 My favorite funny is from my nephew, who is now 14, so we've been reliving it for many years. When my oldest daughter was about 2, nephew was about 4. One day at a family dinner, DD was talking about a picture of Piglet, but couldn't say the name right and called him Piggle. Nephew got up from the table and walked around to the other side in order to confront DD very seriously. "It's not Piggle. It's Pigwit. Get it? Pig-WIT," he scolded. :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Dd was highly literal. She would get so upset whenever someone would say "You can say that again!" "But I just said it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermomster Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Two years ago, DS started Interactive Metronome, which basically entailed homework where he clapped for 20 minutes straight at 54 BPM. Anyhoo... The first time DS attempted the practice, I left him in the office to do his thing. I wasn't gone too long before I heard a commotion and ran to investigate. Growing bored with the clapping, DS crossed his hands and started kicking and bouncing like a Russian dancer. During one of the kicks, he managed to project a full glass of chocolate milk onto the opposing wall. We cleaned but the chocolate milk stain is still there. DS needs to repaint the office. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
