I loved this. Just read it on The Mighty. Your reactions and answers are so like me! Thanks for sharing this – brilliant!
Thank you! I am so glad:) You have to laugh, right?
Always! Laughter is the best medicine!
I wish I was as fast with my comebacks. Most of the time, I was just too dumbfounded to responded.
most of the time I can’t think straight. But I have my moments:)
Love this. Funny and spot on.
Most apply to my kid too (SOD/ONH) We’ve had the starers, the experts, the “angels”, the penny givers and the huggers (which admittedly my Ashley really doesn’t mind).
All this fuss, though well meaning, misses the point that our kids are … Well, kids! Noisy, quiet, sulky, giggly, funny, annoying…. who, as you say, happen to have a condition of some sort.
This should have been the title: the starers, the experts, the “angels”, the penny givers and the huggers
Reblogged this on Dave's (almost) Daily Drivel and commented:
Once again this blog gives us a post which highlights an aspect of life when your child, amongst all the many things which help to define them, have a condition of some sort. I love these.
