Literally Autsim

About 15 minutes after DH put MM to bed, I went upstairs. I could hear her reading her books talking to herself as she usually does. I then hear her pass gas kind of loud. Then she says: "Cinderella, you far.ted I heard you!"

She came home from school with super star sticker on her shirt.
Me: Why did you get that sticker?
MM: I a smarty pants
Me: I know you are a smarty pants, but what did you do to get that sticker?
MM: (with exaggerated hand movements) I the only one who knew clockwise and counterclockwise! (she's only in first grade!)

New words that crack her up:
Tamper Evident Cap
Redundant
Are we going to go Wally World?

Literally Autism

MM: Mom, we live green.
Me: Yes, MM, we do.
MM: Mom, we live green
(this repeated about 20 times)
Me: Yes, honey, we certainly do try to live green.
MM: But I sleep pink.


MM: Mom, did you know that my school is on Tipton.
Me: Yes, MM, I realize that.
MM: You "reckon"?
Me: What?
MM: That means do you recognize.
Me: I know what it means. That isn't proper English, that is southern slang. We really shouldn't say it.
MM: Ok, I recognize not to say it.
(I am sure more southern colloquialisms are to come & be explained since DH & I speak "northern")

While doing homework:
"Make words in the -ish family"
MM: Wish
Me: Very good. Can you think of another?
(I am thinking a 6 year old way, anticipating fish or dish)
MM: Irish, like me. Capital I- r
(she obviously has read the family crest we have on the wall, but we have never discussed with her)

Literally Autism

MM: Mommy, I done. Mommy, wipe my butt now.
Me: Whoa, MM, that is a big turd.
MM: Why thank you (said in her most polite sweet voice as if being told she is pretty or something we have taught her to respond to)


MM: Pop-pop went to NAPA on Cherry St.
Me: No, he didn't. It wasn't on Cherry St. He ended up going to the one on Middlebrook
MM: He took Exit 386A Middlebrook Pike
(She told me this AFTER my dad called for directions & I wasn't sure if there even was an exit for that road)
Who needs a Tom.Tom when you got a MegMeg?



MM: Smell Katrina's feet. (katrina is her baby doll)
Me: ::::::smelling doll's feet:::::::: Peeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
MM: She has a fungus among us. It's a dermatophyte. She needs lamasil A T.
This game was repeated about 5 million times this week.

Literally Autism

Me: Did you toot?
MM: No
Me: Yes you did. Peeeuuuuuu. That is really stinky.
MM: Why thank you.

While playing the new Wi.i Re.sort Game:
MM: Let's play the skydiving game.
Daddy: Get ready to free fall. They opened the door.
MM: Pride goeth before a fall. Is that pride there?
(she has been reading Aesop's Fables)

MM: Mommy chase me so I can be TURDIFIED
Me: What is TURDIFIED?
MM: It's where you chase someone and make them frightened.

Literally Autism

While working on a puzzle of the US:

Me: Topeka is the capital of what?
MM: Kansas

Me: Little rock is the capital of what?
MM: Are-Kansas
Me: Arkansas
MM: Are-Kansas
Me: No honey, for some reason they say Arkansas
MM: Are-Kansas


While making blueberry muffins:

Me: MM, you have to move so I can get in that cabinet
MM: I moved (as she turns 180 degrees on her step stool)
Me: You are so literal
MM: I not literal- what's literal?
Me: :::silence:::

Literally Autism

MM's new fascination is directions, maps, countries, continents, etc. She always asks "where is this, where is that". We were getting dressed after her bath.

MM: Mommy, where is Argentina?
Me: In South America.
MM: Mommy, where is China?
Me: In Asia
MM: Mommy, where is Antarctica?
Me: Meghatron, I think we need to get you a worl.d atl.as or a globe. Do you know what a globe is?
MM: It's a sphere. (with duh intonation, like why are YOU asking me this?)

Me: stunned silence, then a chuckle

One More Time Cause It's Funny...

Best Buck I Ever Spent...

She was wanting to watch herself as soon as it was done. This has provided hours of entertainment over here for us since I have 12 year old boy humor.
I have no halloween pics to offer- I had to work :-P

Get Ready to LOL

We were working on rhyming words on Sunday. Here is how the conversation went:


Me: What rhymes with hat?

MM: Cat, Sat, Bat

Me: What rhymes with red?

MM: Head, bed

Me: What rhymes with Dad?

MM: Glad, Had, RAD

Me: What rhymes with Mom?

MM: STINK BOMB!
(followed by uncontrollable giggling)

And now we know what my child thinks of me...LOL
