The thing my boy comes up with

So Joel was talking to his grandma telling her about him getting hurt and how we might not make it over tomorrow for the bbq but he was speaking in Spanish.

My boy looks up

Dad can you understand Papa when he speaks in Spanish

No I can't

Oh cool

Why is that cool

I'm going to learn Spanish too so I can say bad words and you won't know. He smiles proudly.

Joel looks up from his phone call
But I'll know what your saying.

Oh man I didn't think of that! His smile fades away

My mom's parents were French. They refused to teach their kids French though. They said this is America and they will speak English. Of course whenever they wanted to have a private conversation it was always in French.

@Musicman Joel's grandmother speaks English very well but he didn't want the kids to know how badly her hurt himself. He doesn't want them to worry over nothing.

@Cigarguy101 Yep! That's why he had a private conversation. From talking with my grandparents you would never know they were from France.
Hahaha... He can only outsmart one of his dads with that thinking...
@Cigarguy101 Children 1 - Adults 0...

Maybe he has foreign languages in his future.

@HootyTheNightOwl that would make him smarter than me. Hell who am I kidding he's only 6 and is already smarter
@Cigarguy101 Nah... You're just differently abled - like me, that's all.

I never thought I'd be going through a massive autistic burnout at the age of 42 and trying to get through it at the same time as trying to learn about it and how best to help myself in future.

I also never imagined that stress could make you hit a brick wall so hard that you can't seem to get the refreshing sleep that you need.

Here's the game plan. You secretly learn Spanish and then make sure you show zero reaction when they're talking shit in Spanish even though you understand every word. Ask me how I know...

@BuzzedLightyear well I ready hope Joel and Grandma aren't taking bad about me when I'm sitting right next to him

@Cigarguy101 do your ears feel warm?
