Old Fogies
Cut and paste
from this little
boxy thing below
I conclude that young people today are very odd:-
“Where’s Mr.B today?”
“Why should I know?”
“Well…….you’ve only been together for a blink of an eye.”
“We’re not joined at the hip mum.”
“!”
“Mom?”
“Yes dear?”
“Fred says that he really likes me.”
“Ah. That’s nice.”
“He says he’s always liked me.”
“Super.”
“He says he’s liked me since Kindergarten.”
“My that is a long time.”
“But I was at a different school then. I think he’s tryin to butter me down.”
“I do hope not.”
“What it is?”
“What is what dear?”
“What?”
“What what?”
“Watt?”
“Oh…..a unit of energy. Why do you want to know?”
“Coz I wanna know how old it is?”
“How old what is?”
“Watt age?”
“I am love.”
“Indeed you are. Anything in particular?”
“Valentine.”
“Valentine’s Day was last month. We’re working up to St. Patrick’s Day now.”
“No.”
“No?”
“Valentine is being my best friend in the world ever.”
“Is he indeed. Is he new in your class?”
“No she is being my frog?”
“She? Frog?”

That is the cutest frog I’ve ever seen! And I love the whole ‘wattage’ exchange. Never thought of it that way before!

This really made me laugh. It never ceases to amaze me how kids on the autistic spectrum view words, mix them up and spin them around. It is really quite clever. The ‘butter me down’ and the uses of ‘what, watt’ etc in different contexts – it’s fasinating. My son does the same thing. It keeps you on your toes! (not literally of course).
