"Okay Bumhead"

Mood: passive
Music: The Killers - Smile like you Mean It

Today I had the pleasure of working with a down syndrome girl who I thought was twelve. She kept talking about her little boyfriend and how he wanted to get married to her (aww, how cute -- right?) and her dad had promised to take her to McDonalds if she was good, so of course I thought she was just some little kid being adorable. ...Turns out she's a year older than me!

For the purpose of blogging, I will call her Miss A. Miss A was a riot. Still under the impression that she was twelve, she asked me for a People magazine and of course of all the People magazines I could have chosen I snatched up the one with Sarah Jessica Parker on the front of it, and all you hear is "WHY I QUIT SEX!" (Heh... the little girl said sex - hahaha!) That opened the door to a conversation about her boyfriend. (Aww, the little girl has a little boyfriend!)

The Dad: "[Miss A] has a boyfriend now."
All: giggle
The Dad: "You've known him for a while, havn't you, [A]?"
Miss A: "Yeah. We didn't used to like eachother very much but now we love eachother."
The Dad: "They used to hate eachother in grade school. He was a bad influence..."
Miss A: "Yeah, he taught me swears and stuff. Finger swears."
Alison: "But he's a changed man now, right?"
Miss A: "Yeah he's not like that anymore. No bad stuff like swears and, and having sex!"
Silence
The Dad: "But we don't do that, right [A]?"
Silence
The Dad: "...Right, [A]?"

She also has quite the affliction with Mark. She kept calling him Mr. [Alison's last name] and finally as she was having her hair rinsed, Alison corrected her.

Alison: "That isn't Marks last name, though. Mark's last name is Rogers."
Miss A: "... Mr. Rogers?
*smirk*
Hey Alison... Mr. Rogers!!"
Alison: supressing laughter "It's not nice to make fun of people's names."
Miss A: " ...I love you."

Heh... So as you have probably figured out, I quite enjoy little Miss A. ...She has everthing figured out!

The Dad: "So who's going to be paying for this great big wedding of your's?"
Miss A: "Matthew is."

Haha, You go girl! ...I love my job.

(wtf, I just tried typing in "google" and instead I put "gooelf"...sounds like a booger or something.)

Lastnight I went and saw The Incredibles (apparently I remind Mikey of Violet). Go see it. Now.

Ta Da!
