When we ask Alex about his school day, instead of saying "I don't know" when we query about what he did that day, he says "It's a long story, Mom (or Dad)." I have no idea where that came from - but it brings a large smile to our faces. It's his unique way of saying "I don't want to talk about it".
I think it is great that it's a long story - it means he did a lot. Every moment that he has to "add" to that long story is precious.
I hope that when I am an old woman, he will sit beside my bed and tell me that long story - filling my head and heart with the stories of his long. long life.
