Did You Say "UNPROMPTED"???

It’s been one of “THOSE” days!!!

Today has been an autism kinda day in Riley World. What do I mean by that???  Well after a few other "incidents" we had this little conversation:

R:  It’s missing.

Me:  What’s missing?

R:  One is missing.

Me:  One what??

R:  Mr. Noodles. One is gone.

Me:  ?!?!?  Where?

R:  Downstairs.

Me:  Show me.

Off we go. 

Yes there are 5 boxes of Mr. Noodles.

Yes that is 60 packages.

No this is not unusual. Sometimes there are even more. 

I buy the boxes in multiples of 4 for a discount.

If you will notice...there are only 11 packages in this box.

Let me explain. R likes to have 2 servings (2 packs per serving) of Mr. Noodles every night after his shower. Routine. Habit. Whatever. As long as he ate, G made them. We started to cut back to 1-1/2 packs per serving as R started leaving a fair amount untouched. G would "hide" the extra packs in the corner cabinet and make up boxes downstairs and add the made-up boxes to the pile. I know what you're thinking. How could G be so stupid as to only put 11 packs in the box!?!   ;P  

I am not sure how long or when Riley noticed that one package was missing but today was the day that he let me know it was missing. Can you spot the box with the missing package???

How about now???

Much easier to spot in this picture don't you think?

The angle is much better.


Whaaaat??  You can't spot it?!?!? 


Here...


Let me help you...

Now if you'll excuse me...to hell with "W.O.W." (aka Wine on Weekends). Pour me a bottle...or three.  

Paper... #youmightbeanautismparentif

Most people wouldn't think twice when they open a package of copy paper. That is of course unless you live in Riley World.

See that yellow circle?  See how the paper is wavy?? Well according to Riley it is "bented"!  Bented is not good! 

So instead Riley must individually assess each sheet of paper (see how carefully he is picking up the paper) before deciding if it is acceptable to put in the printer. The yellow arrow? It is pointing to the rejected sheets because you know...they were too bented.
