He also says a lot of words as if he has read them, but has simplistic rules of pronunciation. So, for instance he would say that last weekend I rake-ed the leave-es.
Most of these things we have got fairly used to, but that doesn't mean he has lost the ability to make us laugh with his unique approach to life.
The other day he was playing with a ball that rolled underneath the TV stand. He went to collect it but turned to Exile #2 looking a little worried, "There's a spider there."
"That's OK," she replied, "the spider won't hurt you."
He processed this and turned back to the task in hand, "Excuse me spider, can I please get my ball?" As he approached it, it ran away. "Oh, thank you spider," he said and retrieved his ball and went back to what he was doing.
Domo arigato, mister kumo-san!
