A fellow Therapist told me this story today...
She was drinking a can of Diet Dr. Pepper.
Client: "Excuse me, are you drinking Dr. Peppa Pig?!"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Not too long ago, I had a client ask me:
"Miss Mercedes, can you pretty please get me real rainbow unicorn?!"
Me: ......
Client: "From Petco! or would it be Petsmart?! I probably have to ask my daddy, right?!"
Me: "Yeah, I would ask your daddy about that one."
Client: "Wait! Or would it have to be from a special pet store??"
Me: .......

We have a client who loves office buildings and big towers. They were building some tall towers out of magnet tiles, complete with cubicles and all. I tried to engage with them and I pulled up an image on my iPad of my boyfriend's office - a very large, tall group of buildings in the area. I showed them the picture. On purpose, I left out any personal information regarding the photo - didn't mention the word boyfriend or even use pronouns, for that matter. I said..
"Bud, look at this! I have a friend who works at the very top of one of these buildings! And it's not too far from here."
They had their back to me, but they look over their shoulder at me and say...
"Your friend...... (dramatic pause)... or your Husband?"
Suggestive eyebrow raises and all.
That's all for today folks.
