We’ve been trying to get D to use more functional language instead of the code we’ve become accustomed to.

“Try snack” means I want a cheese stick.

And while that works for our family, it doesn’t help D out in the world where someone would have no idea what that meant.

This morning he wants to watch a certain show on TV.

He says “Try numbers.”

I say, “You want to watch TV. Say ‘I want to watch TV, please.’”

He whispers “Watch TV, please.”

I say, “I want to watch TV, please.”

He whispers, “Want to watch TV, please.”

I say, “D say ‘I want. I want to watch TV, please. Say the ‘I’.”

He whispers “I”

I say “I…want to watch TV, please.”

He whispers “I….love you.”

And guess who is watching TV.
