Jacqui learns SARCASM!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Am I happy about this? YES! and only YOU guys would understand why.

Jacqui had a MAJOR meltdown on Saturday morning. SHE wanted something from

the kitchen, but was playing upstairs. She DEMANDED that I get it and I

refused. I told her if she wanted something, she could get up and get it.

The demand elevated into a full autistic meltdown.

Of course, 1/2 hour later she was absolutely fine.

Then came dinner time. She had been wonderful the rest of the afternoon,

asking for something she needed politely, etc. We sat down to dinner and

she said " Can I have a drink please? " ....and followed it by yelling " AND YOU

GET IT NOW! " , with a smile on her face.

Her Dad didn't get it. He said " Well, the first part of that was good " . I

looked at him and said " she was just kidding " ...then she says " Yeah, Dad, I

was just joking. "

A TOTALLY NT moment. She was SO there, with us, in our world! She knew

what she had done before and how it bothered all of us so much, and was

making a JOKE !!!

Wow!
