James told me that he was working on a special card for Tom's birthday. He said, "I'm making an acrostic poem on the front." I said, "Wow, that's a great idea. Dad will love that. Are you using the word 'Dad' for the poem?" He said, "No, I'm using 'Father' because it's longer and has lots of different letters." He paused and said, "For the 'A' I wrote 'Awesome.' And for the 'E' I wrote 'Expert on Everything'. Oh! and for the 'H' I wrote 'Helpful in Every Way'. I can't remember what I wrote for the other letters. " I commented on how nice that was, and jokingly asked, "For the 'F' did you write 'Farts A Lot'?"
Taking me seriously, and clearly offended, James chastised me and said, "Moooooom!!! No! Of course not! That's not nice! I'm writing things that are going to make him feel good! I'm not going to write the truth!!" (5/11/13)
