My autistic brother created a new family Christmas tradition

Okay, so last year, my mom bought this Christmas moose that she lovingly named Barry

This is him

Cute, right?

Well, for whatever reason only known to my brother, he decided that he wanted to put Barry in different rooms of our house and it usually scares the shit out of whomever happens upon Barry; usually the person who finds him is the person that my brother wanted to scare.

So far, Barry has been found

On our dining room table

On my dad's side of my parents' bed

In my parents' closet

Outside their bedroom door (at 5 in the morning and scared my mother shitless)

Near the kitchen door

Near my fucking bed

At the bottom of my sister's stairwell

In our bathroom

And down the hallway

This has gone on for 9 days and it doesn't seem to show signs of stopping. Most of the time we know who gets Barry because it's always followed with a very loud "FUCKING BARRY!!!!!"

My brother is the funniest fucking person I know.

Update:

He found his way into my sister's room.

And my brother is cackling maniacally downstairs.

Another update:

The soft glow of the Christmas tree seems to quell his bloodlust

I genuinely believe that some people could encounter a button that says “if you push this button everyone in the world has the opportunity to live a better life and your life remains exactly the same” and they would not push it.

They’d be like “well that button’s not fair to me, though,” even though there’s literally no other buttons around and nothing newly bad would happen to them if the button was pushed.

Adding prev's tags because I agree with them, even though, as they say, it's not the point of the post, but yeah. Improving everyone's life would also improve your own.

original post and the response are related tho because it's about the perspective you have on improving other people's lives. non-button presser sees it as a competition (improving other's lives gives them an unfair advantage over you) while response sees it as collaborative (if their lives improve, they take me with them)

I still can't get over jinx purring. I never knew how happy he was or how much he loves me. he's been purring since I got home, every time I say hi to him. my husband says he's always purring like that, I just never heard it before

angiethewitch

thank you @dwiwediblino for suggesting a clicky keyboard. I just tried it out and what a FANTASTIC sound

Have you heard the pitter patter sound of your cats toes yet? Always enjoy that sound

angiethewitch

yes!! when we came home and I called him downstairs for some food I heard him leap off the bed I think and his excited patters down the stairs

angiethewitch

food in frying pans really do be sizzling...

angiethewitch

the sound of old crinkly book pages oh my GOD I have found my new favourite sound

angiethewitch

went down to the village river and it was so nice!! the river is pretty low rn because of the lack of rain but when it rains lots I want to go back and see it go fast and hear it

angiethewitch

angiethewitch

intercoursefluids

What do you think of this noise?

angiethewitch

angiethewitch

popped my hearing aid on when I woke up and just listened to my husband breathe next to me. he's here, I get to wake up next to my best friend every day. he's alive. he loves me.

then he started snoring very loudly and it was even worse with the amplified sound

angiethewitch

you guys can hear the ticking of watches?? they're so loud!!

angiethewitch

when you light a cigarette and you hear a faint crackle as the dried leaves catch fire. very good.

angiethewitch

I was hanging my washing outside and I shook out a pillowcase to hang it up and it made a very good whoosh sound with a slightly sharp crack!

angiethewitch

the crackling sound of a candle wick being lit!! what a fun noise!!

angiethewitch

a bird landed on the tree branches above my head and I heard it!! I thought birds were silent but theyre not!!

angiethewitch

heard my neighbour come home from his daily bike ride and the bike made a clicking sound??? :0

angiethewitch

im outside in my garden with my easel doing some painting and I was drawing on the easel and it makes a scratchy noise?! the pencil was scratching! it makes a very good sound indeed!!

angiethewitch

angiethewitch

angiethewitch

angiethewitch

TIME TO REVIVE THIS POST. I heard lambs the other day and they make really sweet noises. I also went for a walk around a local nature reserve yesterday and heard lots of birds. and I met a dog who said "boof" at me. im still absolutely bowled over by the sound of the sea. in my job I rip up a lot of cardboard boxes and I enjoy the noise.

everything should cost one dollar, ten dollars, or one hundred dollars. a drinky drink is one dollar. a t shirt is ten dollars. rent is one hundred. i might be convinced to allow one thousand dollars for some very big purchases like a house. i get it, you're running a business. i'm not unreasonable.

After listening to The Summoning for the 100th time I’ve realised that after Steph says “we’ll give you whatever you want” Wiggly’s “whatever we want?!” doesn’t sound British like he normally does, it sounds more American. Sure, that could’ve been Jon Matteson accidentally dropping the voice, but I like to think that the British accent is something that Wiggly puts on to seem more charming/appealing and his actual voice is more guttural with an American twang (if this is true it would be hilarious if his brothers mocked him after every time he spoke in a British accent like ‘bro you’re not even British’). He perhaps only speaks with his real voice when he’s expressing genuine emotion, like when he’s genuinely thrilled about the possibility of getting ‘whatever they want’ (the accent comes back after he and his brothers sing ‘forever in our debt’ - that’s when he regains his composure and remembers to do the accent).
