Literally

With Aspergers you take things literally ,there has been a few times Ethan has taken things literally and they make me laugh

one time Ethan was telling me something really cool and i say "shutup!"
Ethan stops talking and says mom why did you tell me to shut up, I to him I thought what he was saying was really cool.

Another time we were at the beach and Ethan started shaking the sand off his towel and it was right by everyone. My mom says Ethan take your towel down to the water away from us.
Ethan takes the towel and gets it soaked in the water, as we yell Ethan stop no.... He comes back up to us and we say Ethan why would you put the towel in the water
Ethan says grandma told me to take it to the water.

This story is my fAVORITE example.......

then had to explain Im in the car with the kids and they start playing the game raise your hand if...This is how it goes

Cambria: Raise your hand if you think dads funny

Ethan: Raise your hand if you think Siennas a chubbers

This goes back and forth a few more times then

Ethan:Raise your hand if you think mom has a hot body

Now Im thinking ok cool my son thinks i have a good body

Tyler: Ethan I have a hot body, really?

Ethan: ya mom Your bodies super hot. Thats why i come in your room at night and cuddle with you, you keep me so warm because you bodies so hot.

Oh man, is that what he means, I was feeling all good about myself.
