This morning he heard me say,
"I'll get you a muffin to start your breakfast."
Saw me take it out of the refrigerator.
Watched me put it on a plate.
Observed as I put it in the microwave to warm.
He heard the microwave DING finishing.
Heard me say, "You can get it now."
So he sat down and waited at the counter.
He didn't get ... "Get it" ... or what that meant.
No associations, no connections
Between muffin, refrigerator, and plate.
Between Microwave, DING, and "Get it!"
So I did it for him and he said, "Thank You."
But I couldn't respond because I didn't feel thankful.
