Pardon My Chinese

"My weiner is bugging me!" G, groping and adjusting at the bus stop.

"Yeah, me too," I laughed.

"No, you don't have a weiner!"

...pause

"Wait, what's your weiner called again?"

"Do you remember?"

...pause

"China something... Oh, MyChina!"

MyChina
I think the stars represent erroneous zones

Teehee. That'll work for now.

Coincidentally, I've been thinking about MyChina for the past few days. G was born 8 years ago today. Happy Birthday, Super G! After 10 years of every imaginable hellish fertility agent, weepy false hopes and heartbreaking near successes, 2 beautiful beloved adopted babies, I became pregnant. Who knew MyChina actually "worked" as nature intended it! And work it did for 3 days until this very day 8 years ago. Our 3rd miracle baby was born and we welcomed him into our family. We thought we were whole, but he completed us by bouncing into our lives and never stopping. He's our breath of fresh air, our lessons to be learned, our wonder and delight.

We love you, G!

Spooky Insights

G, pointing up excitedly, "Look what the spiders left us for Halloween!"

You just keep right on believing that, kiddo.

I'll dust after Halloween. :)

G: Mom, my pumpkin looks like Van Gogh!

I'm a bit horrified that they learn about this mad act in 2nd grade. Is that knowledge really necessary to appreciate Van Gogh's work through the eyes of a 7 year old?

Then again, he remembered. ;)

Get Your Quirks On!

You're cordially invited to:

Invite all your friends! Please share.

Families and caregivers touched by special needs/autism need a perky party! Find your happy place. Share your priceless stories, photos, videos, drawings, parody, someecards, sound bytes, creations... of quirky FUN!
Facebook special needs pages and groups are full of info, news, questions, trauma, heartbreak, fear, help, sharing, caring and love. I love all of it. I couldn't cope without my precious Facebook support in my isolated world.

But, what's missing? Laughs! A sweet spot to share our playful, adorable, gleeful, zany treasured stories.

Special needs parenting often brings zany ridiculous moments to the mix. All parents have stories about the amusing things their kids say or do. We all have memories of hysterical times with teachers, therapists, friends, strangers. A twist of the mundane can turn silly. Let's shine some light on our lives. Spread humor to celebrate our random moments of comic relief.
