25. Acceptance...


As I was driving Michael and Robert to autism school today, I see a large truck in front of us. A woman was driving it.

I was impressed, "Michael look at that huge truck. And a girl is driving it."

Michael is not impressed, "You're a girl and you drive."

"Well, yes, but I can't drive a big truck like that," I say.

"Yeah, but I've seen that before," says Michael still unimpressed.

"You know... you're kind of amazing," I say to him, impressed that he didn't find anything unusual about a woman driving a big truck, like I did.

Clearly, I need to learn a thing or two about the advancement of women in today's society.

"I know," answers my very humble son.
