Working With My Obsessive Son....

My son is sometimes jokingly refered to as Rainman, meaning he can get a LITTLE obsessed about things.  Here's different ways I add a little levity to his day.

Add an extra wing to his order.

I'll leave out a Lego toy with one piece that cannot be centered on the block, no matter how many ways you try it.

Open the Doritos bag from the bottom.  And rip the side of it.

Forget about organizing socks - they are hidden in his shoes anyway.

Wear your Christmas socks in July.

Purposely point out the hot dog/hot dog bun dilemma.

Stand in front of the TV when he is at a particularly important part of his video game.

Point out that a lot of his texts have grammatical errors.
