Monday before Thanksgiving, our very special class is invited to the NT (neurotypical...normal for you laymen) classes' Thanksgiving play. Because their teachers are especially intelligent, they seat my class in the very front row. One teacher and six children later, we line ourselves up with the entire school behind us, and thus begins the the play.
NT Actor on stage, singing rather quietly: "I don't want turkey for Thanksgiving! I want pizza!"
Kenan from my class, shouting, rather loudly and waving his hands by his eyes in this dizzying way: "WHY? WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO EAT TURKEY FOR DINNER? MISS PSEUDONYM LYNN WHY WON'T HE EAT TURKEY FOR DINNER? IS HE GOING TO GET A TIMEOUT TOO?"
NT Actor #2: "Honey, I already made the turkey for dinner, can't you just try some?"
Kenan: "ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE HIM EAT THE TURKEY? YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO? MISS PSEUDONYM LYNN CAN 'T YOU STOP THEM?"
Me: "Kenan, I know you like to talk to new friends but now is time for mouths quiet and ears listening. We'll talk when the play is all done."
Kenan: "MISS PSEUDONYM LYNN WHY DO I HAVE TO BE QUIET? WHY DO THEY GET TO TALK? I'M JUST TALKING TO MY FRIENDS. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME TALK TO MY FRIENDS? HEY! HEY YOU! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? WHY WON'T YOU EAT TURKEY? IS YOUR NAME JOHN? IS YOUR NAME MATT? MISS PSEUDONYM LYNN IS HIS NAME BRETT? OR IS IT SAM? IS HIS NAME JOHN? IS YOUR NAME JOHN? WHY WON'T YOU EAT TURKEY?"
