So Ty has this thing about answering people when they talk to him, meaning he barely answers or answers so quietly no one can hear him. I’ve gotten on his case for it before. I’ll tell him “Ty, when people talk to you , you have to answer them”. He did it again last night, as we were leaving the Stop Motion Animation workshop he went to at the Roudenbush Community center. The father of the boy Ty had been teamed up with said “it was nice to meet you, have a great summer”. Ty just kind of looked at him and mumbled something.
A little frustrated, I said to Ty “You have to respond to people when they talk to you, you can’t just stand there and give them a derp face”. He laughed and said that next time he would say “I’m sorry mister, I didn’t hear you… I’m broken in sociality”.
“broken in sociality”? that cracked me up, especially with the exaggerated “derp face” he was making as he said it. Little smart alec! 🙂
