This morning on the way to therapy Younger Boy was nodding off in the car. Honestly I can't tell anymore if he is THAT TIRED or if he is doing it in avoidance of therapy. Could be a little bit of both.
I asked him if he was awake and alert...obviously knowing the answer. No response. I followed up by asking him what his teacher would think about this.
His response:
"I have never had the experience of being a teacher so I don't know."
I asked him to guess. He had NO IDEA. I told him I had never had the experience of being a teacher either, but I was 99% sure a teacher would say that he needs to get more sleep.
I then asked him why he thought he answered that way. Again...no idea.
In the moment his response infuriated me. Taking a step back I can see the absurdity.
