ASS-burgers

So the other day Logan found his Autism Speaks shirt from the walk we did a few years ago.  He wanted to wear it.  So I casually asked if he knew what Autism was.  He replied, well no not really.  Now before everyone thinks I am a bad parent, he is fully aware that he has Aspergers.  We told him when he was diagnosed and have discussed it with him several times.  When we explained it to him we just said that all it means is that his brain is wired a little differently and that some things come easier to him and some things he has to try a little harder at.  So this morning we were talking about Autism and I asked him do you remember what Aspergers is? 

And he said yes.  Then he proceeds to tell me......"Mom, I am not allowed to say ASS, so from now on I will just call it burgers!  "  I was literally laughing so hard I almost peed my pants!  He thought he was pretty funny too when he realized it wasn't the same thing.  We finished our talk and in my head I will always think of ASS-burgers!  Or Burgers for short.
