Navigating life with my budding chief

Mommy Marian announces. "I am making fried chicken"OK I say through clenched teeth. You see my precious daughter the budding chief has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome & Dyslexia. With the Asperger she is always happy. I often say Marian has the joy the world did not give and the world cannot take away. The challenge with this disorder is she is often oblivious to how her decisions impact others.

This current announcement will greatly impact her father(my husband) who will be home within the hour.  He has been on a juice fast for 40days.  He has lost a significant amount of weight and wants to go another 20 days.

I encourage her to get started immediately, to use the ventilation fan and clean up as she goes. Marian begins her rhythm of smiling, humming & twisting about.  She cleans, pours, dips and fries her bird.  Within the hour she has produced a perfectly golden brown fried chicken. Look Mommy. beautiful I respond. Her timing was almost perfect. The kitchen was clean and there was no sign of the chicken which was already in the fridge when her father arrived. She and her brother ate enough during the cooking process and decided to save the rest for lunch tomorrow. My Marian's world somehow fits just right with us particularly her cooking.
