Literally

Turkey had a "Getting to Know You" homework assignment to do over the weekend; and in true Asperger's fashion he took each question literally.

My favorite example is this question: "What is your favorite hobbies or sports?"  Turkey replies: "building Legos". So I ask him if he wants to list fishing or swimming or bowling as a favorite sport.  He replies, "No, it said hobby OR sport, not both".

When I told him to write his last name on it, he replied; "It says name not first and last name".  Sigh.... "You need to put both down in case she knows another Ray." He begrudgingly wrote it.

I love that kid, but he makes me a little crazy some days.

Update: TIBMTD August List

Let's see how the list fared last month:


1) Wash my car.  I mean REALLY wash my car (read: take to care wash and have them do the windows inside and out as well); and not just let Turkey wash it.  Done, done and done!!!  

2) Put weed paper down and mulch over the front "garden". Not done.  I found the weed-paper at my mom's house today, and I left it there.  Fail.  

3) Get Monkey's footprints.  Not done.

4) Send a note to the White House and get a "congrats on your birth card" for Monkey. Half done, the letter is written and in the printer.  


I guess I'll give myself a 45% this past month.  But hey, it happens, I'm only human.

5) Get Turkey a new mattress.  We're having a tax free shopping in my state this month; so this may actually happen.  Didn't do.  I decided there were too many people out shopping that weekend to go.
