I want a guinea pig....

[ladysown]

Okay, I can tote one along to town today.

Can I please have this one? Sure, would you like his brother as well?

Sure...

I get to town, and ...

Discover that YES, I am a complete *****.

the guinea pigs are sitting at home on the kitchen table.

one very disappointed child who has Pervasive Developmental Disorder. Shouting no no no at me.

Learning that momma promised him one of his very own since he's very tactile and just lost the family guinea pig this morning....

I felt like an ***** and a heel.

I say... will Monday work okay? will he be okay?

oh yes, he'll be fine.. he's just disappointed right now and that's what he says when he's sad.

and I have the PERFECT guinea pig for him......

Monday, he'll have a nice pet of his own and the family will have another piggie that will be good to share.

I am a complete *****....

My son is PDD/Aspergers, yes he reacts strongly sometimes when disapointed but recovers well. Used to be harder, he's older now and handles it better. Don't feel badly, the child will be alright, and happy as heck when he see's you on monday!
