Charles talk

Charles still has trouble with pronouns and gender. He only very rarely uses the female pronouns “she” and “her”. This came up one day and Charles ended up declaiming that he was a boy and Alice was a girl. On a whim I asked him if his teacher, Miss Darcy, was a boy or a girl. Charles said he didn’t know and eventually that Miss Darcy’s gender was indeterminate (or both, he wasn’t completely coherent).

Charles has acquired the verbal tick of saying “poop” quite a lot. When he doesn’t want to talk about something, he starts answering every question with that word. Mom, understandably, is not overly found of this. At one point she asks Charles “doesn’t Miss Darcy get upset when you say that?”. Charles said “No, because I don’t do that at E D C L”. He’s such a considerate boy.
