"Mommy!"
"Yes, Connor?"
"CAAAR!"
"Cars are cool, Connor."
"Mommy!"
"Yes, Connor?"
"McQueeeen!" (repeat 10 times)
Enter Ian:
"Mommia? Do you want to play with me?"
"Sure, what are we playing?"
"Star Wars! Mommy, you can be Padme. I will be Star Wars Dude."
"Can I be Darth Maul?"
"No, Mommy, Darth Maul is a boy. You can be Jar-Jar Sphinx. He doesn't die."
"That's great."
"Mommia?"
"Yes, Ian?"
"Do you want to be Chewgabacca? He's the coolest."
"Isn't he a boy?"
"No, Mommy, you can be the girl Chewgabacca. Or you can be Burrito."
"Isn't it Greedo?"
"Burrito is a boy."
Back to Connor:
"Mommy!"
Tom: "I'm Daddy!"
"Mommy!"
"I'm Daaadddy."
"CAAAR!"
"DAAAADDDY!"
"McQUEEEEN!"
Back to Ian (playing K'nex)
"Mommia....I'm making a Star Wars ship. It's a Tie ship. "
"Excellent."
"Mommia...."
"I'm MommY."
"MomMY. Do you want to play freeze tag?"
"Sure, I love freeze tag."
"Okay, which guy do you want to be?"
"Huh?"
"Mommia, which GUY do you want to BE?"
"There are no GUYS in freeze tag, it's just it or not it."
"Mommy, you could be Star Wars Dude or the Good Darth Maul."
An audible sigh.
Kids with autism latch onto to certain things. Connor and his cars. ALL kids also go in obsessive phases too....where they LOVE certain toys or movies exclusively. I was that way. But WOW. My brain is on little boy car/Star Wars overload!
And yes, Ian calls me Mommia. Why, I don't know. Tom thinks it's fun-he calls it the "Land of Mommia".

I laughed for a good long while after reading this one. And I was even there for most of the conversation too! The conversations in our house have taken a turn onto a one-way street!
hehe, very cute! You need to rename your blog....The Land of Mommmia (although I love your current name).
I miss playing and being called Mommy. Sometimes my 18 yo. calls my cell during work and says, "Hi MomME." It's usually when he needs money... hehehe
I love the names Connor has made up. With Star Wars, I think anything can go ... almost lol. :) What came across here are some very tender, loving moments!
Good Morning, Linda: Connor and I should meet. We have much in common with our love of cars. Did he by chance visit my Steve McQueen Film Festival last month? lol!!! He sounds precious and so are you! Have a good day, my friend!!!
That is so funny - I think I've seen that conversation once or twice now :D
What a fun post. You have such a wonderful family. It's fun to share the warmth.
This was too funny. I have heard similar conversations at your house. They are always a good time.
As you know, I also only get to be Padme because I am a girl.
Sounds like a lot of the conversations I have here with Maya after Mandy leaves for work. It becomes non-stop question time:
Where Mommy Go?
WHere Mommy's Car go?
Mommy go to work?
I go to work with Mommy!
Repeat each question several times for full effect -at least 10 times per question or statement is about par.
