Sometimes kids can say the sweetest things. I am going through a very difficult time right now. I am in the middle of a very heated Due Process hearing with our local school system. In order to keep my sanity I try to find the humor in things. This past Sunday we had a lot of ice where we live and our heater broke at our house, so our kids spent the night with their grandparents and rode to church with them. Later that day my Aspie son and I were riding in the car together and he said to me that there was a "weird man at church today."
I asked: "What do you mean "weird?""
He said: "He had a big nose."
I said: "I hope you didn't say this to the man."
He said: "No, I did not embarrass him. Nobody is perfect."
He then looked at me with those sweet eyes and said to me, "I think you are perfect though."
Now I went all day thinking how sweet my child was and that I was perfect in his eyes. I brought the subject up again before bed that night because I wanted to let him know that I thought he was perfect too. Here's how that went.
Me: "Do you remember when you said I was perfect earlier?"
Son: "Yeah, but I forgot about that birthmark on your arm."
Well, that's an aspie for you. At least they are honest....
