While Gavin was over yesterday, he informed both Elliott and Emmett that *Burger King *had *Super Mario *toys in the kids meals.
I don't know what his motives were, if there were any, but Elliott and Emmett latched on to that and wouldn't let go. <img src="https://lxnxuovarpoeyuzaxuet.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/inline/2012/11/wpid-bk_crowncardTheKing_en_01.png" alt="" class="inline-block max-w-full h-auto rounded-xl my-4" loading="lazy" />
I'm not suggesting that Gavin was looking to cause trouble but he wouldn't let it go we I told him to.
I know that I will inevitably get comments and emails saying that Gavin's not responsible for what Elliott and Emmett do, and their right. However, when I ask or tell him to stop talking about this and he keeps going, that is a problem.
Basically, I was left with 2 small children with #Autism and anxiety issues, now laser focused on these Goddamm *Super Mario toys. *
With a typical child, you can simply say, *you can't always have it your way, *or something to that affect. However, when you're dealing with a special needs children, there are a million reasons why that approach is at the bottom of the list.
For starters, when your dealing with a special needs child, specifically #Autism, nothing is that simple.
Trust me, I wish it was.
Another side to this is a bit more selfish. Self preservation is a factor as well. My kids will latch on to these frigging *Super Mario toys* and will perseverate on them and drive me crazy in the process.
Maybe that sounds bad but I'm simply being honest.
I have often said that if the CIA ever needs information extracted from someone, they should send my kids in there to do it.
I love my boys more than anything but holy cow, can they drive me nuts.
Anyway, I took the irresponsible cowards way out and ran to *Burger King* to get them the kids meals with the *Super Mario toys. *Lizze and I just didn't have the energy to face the battles that would lie ahead of us of I didn't.
When I arrived and was placing my order, I noticed the the menu board was missing. They said they wind had blown it down.
I ordered two kids meals and returned home.
I thought I had managed to avoid all of our problems tonight. Little did I know... As it turns out, they didn't have *Super Mario toys *in their kids meals. Can you say *disappointed? *
Not only did my plan backfire, but it totally exploded in my face. It was bad enough that there was no *Super Mario toys *in the meals but they each got different frigging toys.
All I can say is that I'm glad the day is over and I'm going to sleep.
