Today

Had Mom's birthday celebration today. We went to the conservatory and saw butterflies. We also saw an autistic boy, who was behaving perfectly fine; his autism was not the attention-catcher. What WAS the attention-catcher was his mother, who was carrying on as if he were deaf, stupid and under three years of age. None of the above were the case. For some reason, she was grilling him on various topics, not all of which were related to butterflies or flowers, as if she were an agent at Guantanamo and he a hapless captive mistaken for a member of Al-Qaeda. I would have bitten her on the leg if I were him, I think. Otherwise, a good time was had by all; we had cake at home. Presents went over well also.
