Pleasant...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! :)

Today has been pleasant. Or, there have been pleasant things about it. No need to retain less pleasant memories, right? Ha. :)

I had a lovely opportunity today to sit outside on a bench swing for a while with a fairly low-functioning boy with autism and just chat. He has a melodic, sing-songy voice that is quite soothing, really. I was asking him about some of his favorite things, and sometimes he would answer... Then he started asking me silly questions that he may have gotten from a TV show, not sure...but they were still funny.

"Could a chair be a pet?" Me: Hmm...not usually...
"Could a rose be a pet?" Me: Well, pets are usually animals....
"Could a tiger be a pet?" Me: Yes, yes it could. [thinking about Aladdin]
"Could a dragon be a pet?" Me: Yes, that would be an exciting pet.

Then...

"Do combs eat?" Me: Um... not usually, no...
"But they have teeth..."

"Do trains eat?" Me: Um...not really...
"But they have chew...choo choo!"
