Almost everyday Son has to do some work, not that I am a KS parent, but it is more to get him use to doing homework, as we all know how academic-oriented is Singapore's education system.
Today when I gave him some homework , usually a bit of Maths, English, Chinese and science, he made this comment," Are you pulling my legs?" I was quite surprise that he could use idioms! Does he really know the meaning of the phrase? I asked him and he bent down to 'pull my legs'. Then I asked him where he learnt the phrase, and he said from a book.
Don't ever underestimate your special child. Some people say autistic children tend to take words literally and do not understand the real meaning. Wow! Mine can even use idioms.
These days , he has been saying a lot of "what -the ...". I think he must have pick it up from the tv or online games. I think he is at the age of "fun to imitate'. I guess I have to be careful too that he does not pick up any bad words.
