In my mini-book, "The Power of Perception:Seeing Beauty in the Midst of Adversity" you will find 18 more William-isms that will be foundational to these (beginning in 2006 when he was age 7...when I first started to write these down). Because of his unique view of Life and his verbal genius...I felt I had to find an outlet for his wisdom to be shared with the world. Even when he 'doesn't understand' or his words seem 'discombobulated'...I know that they are in perfect order and make perfect sense in his perfect world!

2010 - William at age 11 - "Mom! Amy commented me on being a baby! Could you get her in trouble and cause her to suffer?"

2011 - William at age 12 - When I offered to give him his medicine..."My medicine is devil's juice! It drips from his claw!"
2011 - William at age 12 - Trying to talk me into letting him watch 'Adult Cartoons'..."I don't think people in real life are any better than in those cartoons...people swear and don't make good decisions in life. Those cartoons are freedom of speech on TV."
2011 - William at age 12 - "Mom...I want to be alone. Amy keeps touching my privacy. She can't help herself...she is too curious and I just need to be alone!"
2011 - William at age 12 - After my telling him that I would not let him watch the Adult Cartoon that he wanted..."Mom, I think you need to see a doctor about believing the things you believe. He'll give you medicine and you'll be fine in a week."

2011 - William at age 12 - After William got punished for swearing today, "I don't think I should be punished for using certain words. You should be paying more attention to the feelings that forced the words out of me. The feelings are more important!"

2011 - William at age 12 - After I told William that I didn't like his doctor very much, he said..."Oh, I get it! You don't agree with her values...like Jerry Springer...only in a "Girl-Doctor" form!"
2011 - William at age 12 - "I think in the end, God makes it all work out for us."
2011 - William at age 12 -William asked me to "love on him" which usually means kissing his cheek/neck as he giggles. As I was doing this, he said "Oww, mom...you hurt my ear...EAR AWARENESS!!"
2011 - William at age 12 - "Mom, I know we've had some drama lately. It's not the videos I watch...it's Seasonal Affective Disorder. I get that deep in the winter."
2012 - William at age 13 - After William asked me if I HAD to choose between a 'scary' movie or a 'disturbing' movie...which would I choose. I told him 'scary' because 'disturbing' is too distressing to me. Then he said, "Yeah, scary movies just make you feel scared...but disturbing movies have an energy you can touch...like a fabric you can feel with your fingers."
2012 - William at age 13 - "My school has rules that I don't like. They aren't suited for me. Do you know what I mean by that, mom? They aren't 'suited' for me...like a a 10 year-old wearing a 5 year-old's shirt."
