Just FYI, if you're commenting on the autism/narcissism entry

I edited the post slightly. You may also find this insight interesting - somebody suggested that there may be a correlation between narcissism and the phenomenon of "autism parents" which doesn't really exist for other disabilities.

Made huevos divorciados for lunch today

Except my mother only got one egg, because of her appetite. (Should've scrambled it. I mean, the yolk broke anyway.)

So I bring it down to her....

Me: Hi! We've got heuevos divorciados today, but you just get one huevo!
Her: Huh?
Me: We've got huevos divorciados, but I only made you one huevo.
Her: I have no idea what you're saying.
Me: It's like huevos rancheros, but with two salsas.
Her: Oh. Well, what are the salsas?
Me: We've got a red salsa and a green salsa.
Her: I can see that! What are they?
Me: Um. They're a salsa roja and a salsa -
Her: Verde, yup. Thanks so much.

(There were also refried beans.)

Moonpie's forebearance on the winter walks issue only stretches so far

Today, when I saw it wasn't going to stop snowing, I finally decided she had to go out in it.

She took one step out, walked back in the house and sat down. So I picked her up and put her on the porch. Head down, tail between her legs she walked the length of one block and down another. She didn't balk, or drag behind, but this was a huge change from her normal exuberant pace!

She finally peed, and Finn peed, and I said the magic words - "Okay, let's go back!"

What a difference! Head and tail come up and, tail wagging, she runs all the way home, where there are treats all around for good doggies.
