Welcome to the ADHD zone!

We often joke about our house being "the ADHD zone." It keeps life interesting because you never know...anything can happen at any time.

Several months ago, Maddie had gone into the bathroom and a few minutes later called for some toilet paper (paper toilet in her words). Paul obliged, opened the door and started to hand her the toilet paper. As he did so, he noticed clothes and various other items littering the bathroom floor. He opened the door wider to check the rest of the bathroom. Then, forgetting what he'd actually come there for and what Maddie was doing at the time, he started calling for the owners of the items to come and get them out of the bathroom. All of a sudden, he heard this little voice--

"Hey! Hello---I'm going to the bathroom! Paul sheepishly (but stifling the laughter) apologized and exited the bathroom.

Holly ran into my room this morning and said, laughing--

"Don't knock on the gates of hell,
Ring the doorbell and run away--
--the devil hates that!"

then she ran off as quickly as she came in!

I have CDO. It's like OCD except the letters are arranged alphabetically like they're supposed to be!

ADHD version of "Silent Night" (we also related strongly to this one)

"Silent Night, Holy Night,
All is calm...." oh, look at the froggy. Have you been to France? I lo-o-ove chocolate!

Can you relate to any of this?

Hi Kelly!

That story of Maddie in the bathroom is hilarious.
