Conversations with Seth....

Seth: (coming out of the bathroom) Mom, can you wash by blanket? (comfy blanket he sleeps with every night)

Me: sure, what happened, I just washed it this week already.

Seth: I just accidentally peed on it a little.

Me: oh.  ok. put it in the washer.

Be Compassionate and Say Less Words

I don't have too much experience with people saying weird or inappropriate things to Silas and me when we are out, so I'll go ahead and share this one since I have it. :). Well, people probably say inappropriate things, but I'm not very sensitive so I don't think much about it....

Anyway...

Costco Dude:  (yada yada yada.... spring rolls are still cooking....yada yada yada)

Ian and Me:  (mmm.... spring rolls... yum)

Costco Dude:  (looks at Silas) "does he have autism or something?"

Me: "No, he has down syndrome" (super upbeat and friendly... switch to education mode ... trying to          hide my "what the what?")

Costco Dude: "Ahhh...."

...................

Costco Dude: "My parents had 4 kids..... Thankfully, they were blessed and nothing was wrong with any of us."

Ian and Me and now Seth:  .......... (exchange looks of What the What??!!?!??!)

Me: "yea, I have four kids and we feel very blessed.... except for these 2, sometimes." (pointing to Ian and Seth) 😏


Ian couldn't believe he had heard him right.  It was so strange.  I mean, people really don't think about what they say.
