Am I Annoying You? Good.

Have you ever been completely captured by a song, movie or book?  So much so that the rest of the world just fades away?  Someone could try to talk to you, and you'd probably only hear enough to respond,"uh-huh".  If you're a wife, you may know how this goes.  Your husband is watching the "big game" and you could say, "Honey!  Pigs are flying around outside!" or "Look!  I got a great deal on these shoes that only cost $150!  Aren't they cute?"  (Okay so, you may get him with that last one.)

But, that is how it is with CJ sometimes. Actually, ALL OF THE TIME.  Except, we are not always competing with the television right in front of him. We are always competing with the television inside of his head.  And boy, does he LOVE to tune everyone and everything out just so he can sing and dance with the song or movie that's playing in the reel of his mind.  He gives a whole other meaning to "Go to your happy place".

The urge is often times so strong that some days can be almost a complete wash for communication or education.  (Notice I said "almost").  I always tell people to COMMAND his attention.  Sometimes I clap my hands, or bang the table three times (it must be three) or just look him square in the eye (even if he's not looking back) and say, "CJ! Stop it!!!  I want you here with me!".  A constant battle, all day, every day.  But I will always be there to annoy him. :)
