DP acts so dim sometimes, it grates on me and I try and be tolerant but it's like watching a child half the time. It's such a turn off.
This is a note he TYPED AND PRINTED (becomes significant later on!) for DD for school:
"to the teacher. minithai has not done has not done her home work but she tryed but she cant because our printer is broken is broken so i cant print it for her but she will finish it as soon as the printer is done i will ring around today to try and get it fixed and will print it then thank you mrthai (father) "
Bare in mind he PRINTED THE FFING NOTE ON SAID BROKEN PRINTER!! how dopey. And the English in the note itself was just embarrassing.
Another thing is that he over-pronounces words as he's reading them. I don't know why he does this, he refuses to admit he has any problem.
For instance, he was reading a description of a coat to me yesterday:
"Look, it says warm and water proof to provide maximum cOmFOORRRT"
I was like "what?? maximum what?" and he replied "comfort" really normal! so why did he say it wrong the first time??
Another example:
"I think DS will love this xbox game ... its called Create a Dun Ge On"
I said "create a what??" and he squinted at the screen and replied:
"Dun ... JI On"
I took a look myself ... "Dungeon?"
he said "yes, DunGeOn"
It really, really grates on me.
Especially when I know he can say these things properly.
On a more serious note, what could cause him to do this when reading??
He has a load of books which he said he wanted rid of. I asked why and he said he'd read them all. I'm now starting to wonder if he's getting rid because he STRUGGLED to read them??
