My Little Calendar(TM)

One of Jon’s most endearing (or annoying, depending on our mood) habits is his ability to obsessively track the dates. Every morning, upon waking, his first statements is almost always “It’s Monday, May the 17th!!” (replace with whatever the correct day/date is). This morning Peter (preparing to write in Jon’s communications book to his teacher) asked Jon for the date. Jon said, totally deadpan, “Monday, May the 12th.” As Peter looked quizzically at Jon (Jon doesn’t usually miss the date by that much) Jon’s mouth widened into a little smile. So sly!
