Conversations with Joshua v1.2

My son Joshua is autistic. He has made leaps and bounds from a tantrum-throwing toddler who didn't speak until he was 3 years old, had problems handling play-doh, sand, shaving cream, etc and no social skills. Our city has a great program (LAUNCH) which accepted Josh and helped him and us so much.

Josh still continues to improve and he comes up with some funny stuff. The other day we were watching TV and some commercial came on. It was Walmart or something and the man was talking about having 3 kids and taking care of them.
Josh turns to me and asks,"How come you only have 2 kids?"
I'm trying to think fast and come up with a good answer so I just say,"We decided to just have 2 children. It is the right number for us. Don't you think it would be busier with more kids?"
Josh: "Yes, 10 kids would be A LOT of work for you! Your life would STINK!"

Then we both started laughing....
