Does anyone speak snake

[coff33pot]

Reason why I am asking is DS was allowed to watch the Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets two days ago. He has been going mad to watch the new one but for one thing it is a 12 and he is 6yrs and for another I think Harry dies and he has quite a thing about dying at the moment.

But he has a tendancy to act out films. I was gobsmacked as he actually sat on his own and watched THE WHOLE film without moving one inch

Trouble is...........now he only speaks snake

DD found it irritating to be woken up by DS chuntering snake but later admitted she much prefered it as she could ignore him better and it beats his obssession of guns and ben10.

I got asked for breakfast in apparently "snake" and if we were going out in "snake" and today I finally managed to convince him to go and have his haircut (he hides behind his hair) it was lovely and quiet in the shop so not too sensory but the poor young chap that was doing his hair .................well the only english he got was "who are you?" followed by 20 mins of...........yessss SNAKE

Parseltongue (snake language) must be the new 'in thing.' I like the idea of the poor barber being hissed and hathed at. The last few films are 12A, including the latest, which means children can see them accompanied by an adult. There is a lot of death in it, but not gratuitous. You can tell him it's a 12 if you want to avoid it. It won't mean a lot unless he's seen the rest. My DS3 saw them quite young but got rather scared in the last 2. May be cheaper to get the set on DVD, quite cheap ATM, excluding the last one.

Parseltongue is cool though, I don't blame him.

I'd let him watch the first three films because they get very dark after that and the innocence and, well, magic, are missing from them. I think that when the books were written the audience of children reading them were growing up with them IYSWIM?

Your DS sounds fabulous btw!

[coff33pot]

Parseltongue THATS what it is! DS couldnt remember what the name was and set it was something to do with parsnips!

If this is his new obssession then I can handle this. That is the first time ever he has watched it and has been going on and on about the clips of the new one. Never has he sat still to watch a whole movie! On Amazon now its a fiver and Philosophers Stone is too and Prisoner of Azcaban is a little bit dearer but hey ho. My boy wants I get. I can handle the hissing more than being greeted with a semi automatic machine light up gun that usually wakes me up or an arrow sucker on my forehead

And yes he is fabulous to me although I am going to need a translation book and just wonder what the school will make of this new one. Lets hope they are happy to be wiped out by a wizards wand instead of him saying "you cant talk to me now as you have no head

[coff33pot]

@ zzzzz

Your household sounds great fun!

[coff33pot]

hahahahaha! @ zzzzz your childrens outlook on things are soooo much like DS! You suggest something that you would think would put them off but you get a "COOL!"

I got a big bay tree that I could trim off for wands. Its in desparate need of a haircut.

As far as a game goes I will have to look it up as DS doesnt play games very well ie the losing and the patience. Trust me though by the second time of watching he will have me watching him enact the whole film! His films are is games iyswim. Still desperately trying to add variety of play with DD because of his unmoving "thats not in the game" (film, cartoon)

Told DD it looks like another "snake" day tomorrow owing to DS calling a snakey nite nite to DD. She gave me a........pained expression I quietly suggested she read her big sisters book she had when it first came out to brush up on things

[catherinea1971]

Wow, your ds speaks parsletooth, how cool, it's very rare don't you know!!!:)
My ds is Harry Potter obsessed he's 4...he loves it as he loves to play the lego Harry Potter game on the wii which I can highly recommend cos it's brill!! He acts it all out too, gets a bit of a problem as he truly believes he will be able to fly a broom:0
He has tried to fly my mums and was unimpressed that it didn't work! Confused:

[BrigadeOfLannisters]

You know when people have seen "Rain Man" and assume that all DC with autism have an extraordinary talent? Well there's a splendid response!

I tend to use the one Pagwatch came up with:

"Oh yes, DS2 can fly!"

[BrigadeOfLannisters]

Speaking Parceltongue that is, not playing the piano.

Does he play by ear zzzzz? I'm on the spectrum and was able to do that from a very early age and was considered unusual. I did have lessons and could read music before I was able to read words. I often wonder about that.

[BrigadeOfLannisters]

LOL at crazy family. Shame about the playing but good r.e the language. DS can't multi-task at all, it's one of his features, intense concentration and focus on one thing. So when his language is taking off nothing else improves.

Hope it does come back for him and that he enjoys the music lessons

Coff33pot, Sainsbury's had the first 7 films on DVD in a box set for £20, we bought the blueray one (posh, our first blueray) for £32. May be cheaper than buying them individually.

My DS2 was obsessed by HP and the Philosophers Stone. He used to watch the bit when Quirrel runs into the hall shouting "Troll, troll in the dungeons. Just thought you ought to know," over and over again.

[Ineedalife]

LOL ellen, thats the bit Dd3 likes too, she repeats it over and over and then faints on the floor.

She hasn't done it for a while, but she hasn't been watching philosophers lately, she is too busy with Real A and E and Border force.

[BrigadeOfLannisters]

I am going to type that phrase on the boards the next time a disablist AIBU appears.

Wish DS would get into something interesting. DH hopes he may one day like Star Wars but as I pointed out, the obsessions have a way of sucking all of the joy of the things

[EllenJaneisnotmyname]

Oh, I like it Brigade. But shouldn't you report to MN!

[BrigadeOfLannisters]

at bracket phobia. Make sure you do it gradually. I once had a friend who was afeard of buttons and his Mum and Dad thought it was hilarious to throw him a surprise party for his 18th with a "Pearly King and Queen" theme

[AllieZ]

I think Harry dies
If the film follows the book then Harry does not die.

[EllenJaneisnotmyname]

Spoilers!

[magso]

Ds (11) has been driving us mad with parseltonge since seeing the new HP too. This has recently changed to darlek , in that alarming staccato increasing pitch voice which I find even harder!! Just warning you to stay away from Dr Who>

[AllieZ]

Sorry - I assumed everyone read the book when it was published 4 years ago in July 2007 (this is the book the newest film is based on).

[coff33pot]

Afternoon all. Well yes parseltongue was still with us this morning

I have just gone on Amazon and ordered box set 1 - 7 for £24.98 Just ordinary DVD not blue ray. DS has a small cheap DVD player in his room too so he would be pretty miffed if he cant play it on there too as sometimes he likes to take himself off up there instead.

Eldest DD has popped over and brought up Azkaban for him to watch. So he is transfixed on that at the moment and laughing his head off at it The shoebox is a great idea zzzzz and luck be it I have one.

We have an eye test today due to his eye tick getting worse but GP wants eye test done in first instance (hope he understands "snake"). Has no problem with his sight so dont know why really. So I think I might tempt him with the wand making afterwards as a point of discussion to keep him calm. For the time being he has decided a long bubble tube for giant bubbles is his wand

And yes zzzz I will so laugh if the school and the world approve of his new obsession. Although I dont know how zapping the TA into silence is going to go down but we shall find out I am just glad that he has moved to something that at least will be tolerated.
