My brother Tate has autism. He is the most popular guy around and makes everyone laugh. Sometimes he is intentionally funny and sometimes he is downright brutal.
Tate has a facebook account and it keeps us on our toes. Recently our sister’s cat died. Our sister has had this cat for almost 10 years and was devastated when she died. Tate, who hates travel and still hasn’t forgiven our sister for getting married in Texas and making us travel to the wedding said, “I’m sorry for her loss but I am NOT TRAVELING TO TEXAS FOR A CAT FUNERAL!”
The other day on facebook one of his former teachers posted a flyer. (This teacher was one of Tate’s favorites and they had a lot of fun being goofy together.) This guy teaches PE and he had shared a flyer about two local coaches and the upcoming football game. He said something like, “Plan to get your tickets for ____ event!” Come support Coach ____ and Coach _____.
Tate commented on the picture, “I will come to this game when pigs fly.”
Brutal Tate.
(People know who he is and know that he isn’t trying to be mean or hateful.) We all get a kick out of his posts. He is and will probably remain the most popular kid in town for many years to come.
