Brian was holding his beloved bear, Kaloo, yesterday after dinner. Suddenly he threw Kaloo to the floor in disgust, and said in frustration, "I have to use the toilet."
His exasperation at the inconvenience was obvious. He didn't want to do it, but couldn't avoid it.
Our lovely babysitter, J., went to turn on the bathroom light for him, and told him he was all set.
"OK," conceded Brian. "But it's not as easy as it looks."
And now, the inevitable autism addendum (15 minutes later):
I just turned on Caillou for Brian and Timmy, who love to watch episodes on demand. This episode was about a friend who plays the tuba. Caillou asked if he could try, and the friend said (can you guess?)
"OK, but it's not as easy as it looks."
It would have been so wonderful if Brian had come out with that phrase on his own. It's still funny, but I have to say that hearing that line on TV and knowing that Brian still has some delayed echolalia burst my happy mommy bubble.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
One additional thought - I realize it is an echo, but if you have to look for the silver lining, at least it was used in the right context!
