Guest guest Posted April 18, 2000 Report Share Posted April 18, 2000 Dear Gail, That's a great idea.....looking at the humor in this always helps!! I can think of lots of things, but I'll start with " That's great that you haven't changed your underwear for a week! " Noelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2000 Report Share Posted April 18, 2000 Well, my son has learned to do many things with his feet, including using the remote control for the TV and opening refridgerator and upper kitchen cabinets! He is very talented! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2000 Report Share Posted April 18, 2000 Hi Gail, Great idea. We should collect these into a book for parents, " The OCD Cheerleader. " ) Two recent ones that probably sound strange if overheard in public: andra, for the 13th time, " Mom, do I have a rock in my eye? " Me,without even looking, " I can't answer that question, sweetie. " -and- Me, " Your hands smell stinky? (With enthusiasm) Let's see if you can go without washing them until we get home! " Take care, Lesli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2000 Report Share Posted April 18, 2000 Hi : Steve suffered from both contaminated hands and feet! He used his elbows! Aloha, Kathy P.S. He was very sick, and very desperate, now he can use his hands and feet most of the time. He used to constantly clench his hands closed so he never had to touch anything. When I saw that in his school photo from the year before we dxed him I just wept. K.
