Theatre nuts

july 25 2007

I think I'll be completely nuts when the vacation is over.
Well... I'm already 99% insane, so there's only a little needed to tip me over the edge. LOL!

Children with autisme need a usersmanual.

No problem there, we all have our manuals and when we think we don't need a pile to hand out to others, we certainly have a look at the manuals for washing mashines and other equipment.

Like most manuals the one for my son contained a huge mistake for today.
It might be the storm that hissed against our house, might be the damp of the rain, that was unseen sitting on our shoulders already all week. It might even be a difference of taste of the bread.

I don't know.

But he got a major meltdown again and thought he needed public.
He went into the garden and started yelling there.

If there's something I hate it's that. And he knows it.

So I had the mind enlightened with the insight that he knew what he was doing, and he was already over his meltdown when he came downstairs.
I had a look at the pile of clothes I always have there. He needs to throw things when he is angry. So instead of vases splintering through the room, socks will fly.
(Ever observed socks flying? They do graciously.)

So I had a look at that pile, and it was still there in perfect disorder as always.
Good.

So I told his majesty he'd better come in and get quiet before someone in the neighbourhood might call ambulant psychiatry services.

To my surprise he walked in and sat down.

It took him 5 minutes and then he wanted to go computering again.
Huh... not before I told him that I won't theatre like this anymore, because other people don't know if he's seriously nuts or just theatre nuts.
