Elijah and I were waiting in the car for Cat, and I had my sunglasses on, my head turned in his direction. He put his hand on top of my head and forced me to turn away from him.
“I hate it when people wear sunglasses,” he said. “I can’t tell what emotions they’re feeling.”
That made me smile.
“OK,” he said, “You’re feeling happy.”
I asked, “Do I ever feel any other emotions?” I’m a pretty even-keeled kind of person.
He said Yes. There’s:
- My “Go away” emotion
- My “Oh no I just erased all my files” emotion
- My “Get off the couch!” emotion
- My “Let’s go for a bike ride” emotion
I was surprised he didn’t mention my “Do your homework!” emotion, my “I love this song” emotion, and my “What should I make for dinner?” emotion.
But believe me, they’re all there, safely concealed behind my sunglasses.

I wear my sunglasses as much as possible—they make me feel safe.
I’m feeling happy right now, though, I’m heading towards a “What should I make for dinner?” emotion. Earlier it was a “How many dirty diapers can one little person have in one day?” emotion closely followed by an “I need to suck it up and potty train this kid” emotion.

I like wearing my sunglasses too cuz then I can look at people and they don’t know I’m looking at them. LOL

Ha. I always think people know I’m looking at them, sunglasses or not. Which is why I never look at people, I guess.
Well that and I’m autistic.
