Fun With Literalism: "OK, If You Say So..."
Aspies have a tendency to take things literally. Especially when you use idioms around us, it takes us a minute to get it. This can be awkward. But it can also be hilarious because of the mental pictures we get in out heads.

I can't believe I've never commented on this post! So true! I love wordplay, but still finding myself so tempted when people say something like that. My b/f understands and so when we play games or whatever and he makes a joke about hit me or something I will and he'll laugh with me. I don't hit him too hard (unlike Fuzzy, lol!) cause I have learned to not be so serious. I am so glad for my b/f. Once he started learning and understanding me, he doesn't get so upset or offended when I say or do something.
