Good morning, Lavacorps. Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day and, erm, yesterday. V-Day was my younger brother Shane's twenty-first birthday so I was pretty preoccupied all day. He's Autistic and on his thirteenth birthday, when asked what he wanted to drink, he told us, "I'm thirteen now, I can have beer." Eight years later (i.e., two days ago) when we asked him if he wanted to try a beer, he answered, rather matter-of-factly, "No thank you. I'm allergic to beer."

SD, I taught special ed for 12 years. I have one particular student who who has touched my heart and made me laugh so many times. I wish I had written down all the funny things she has said over the years. One time a teacher was getting on to her for not doing her work. She told her she needed to get her tail back in there. This little girl looked at her with the most serious expression on her face and said, "but I don't have a tail."
