"Look Momma, there's a pony on the street!!"

I look...no pony in sight...

I ignore her...

"Look Momma...there is George (Curious George) he is walking too!"

I finally grasp her imaginary play....which delights me...since imaginary play is such a hard abstract concept for children with Autism to grasp...

I play along.

"Hey...tell that pony to get in here, I'll give her a lift to school"

She squeals in delight.

"Come on Pony!! Sit next to me"

"You have to put a seatbelt on the pony"

"Ok.."

She 'buckles' up the pony...

"Tell George to come along too!!"

"Come on George!"

"Allright let's go Miss C and company"

"Look momma!! another pony, sit her next to you...wait, look, Popeye...hey look Spongebob...hey look Patrick...hey look another pony...a pink one...hey look they are on my lap...I sat some in the back part...look...look look...."

We were stuck in traffic with a Van Load of Cartoons...for 2 hours!!!

Me and my BIG MOUTH....

Thank God for Mini-Vans....
