Use your NOODLE!

   I'm thinking by now, if you are a blog follower of Parenting Asperger's, you could write this for me...

  This morning, Rachel was asking for help with something, to which I replied: "Use your noodle"! As there was silence for a couple of minutes, I wrongfully assumed she had figured out what she needed. Only to be reminded, when she asked :"Do I need one that I can eat OR one for the swimming pool?"

   Have a great Thursday!

Bad prophets? & Raining Babies!

      A news story just came on TV about World War II veterans being taken to see their war memorial in Washington D.C. These people were very humble heros. As Rachel and I were talking about heros....the commentator gave credit for these special vets getting to go to D.C. to a "non-profit" group, honoring them.
    We continued discussing heros and their unselfish sacrifices... Then, suddenly, Rachel says "Are prophets bad?" So we discuss Biblical prophets for a little bit ('til I gave up for now). Then she says..."Well, if prophets are good, then non-prophets are bad?"...."so why did they take those heros to Washington D.C., if they are bad?"
    I'm soooo confused....  ;0)  Fun morning already with an Aspie! Trying to explain why a "non-profit" is a good thing.... You get the pix; we've been in circles...
    Coming up next....did you know babies come from rain? We are off to a "Baby Shower" at 10:00 this morning...I told Rachel I will run if it starts raining babies! Yes, she briefly thought a baby would be "rained down" at the baby shower. I'm thinking the Mom-to-be would like that!
      Happy Easter Weekend!

Looking for a good challenge?

Just a quick vent on my part. If you ever want to be totally frustrated....just try explaining tennis to an Aspie! After all, the scoring goes Love, 15, 30, 40, deuce, add in, add out, game, set, match.... No real consistant pattern. Needless to say, I have had to redirect the conversation, because it does NOT make sense to an Aspie! I am not up to this challenge, today!
