TEDDY BEAR AND FRIEND

My apartment mate, Savage Kitten, needs cheering up because she and Wheelie Boy are no longer an item. It is proving a depression-inducing thing for the poor girl.

She'll get over it.


It may take a while.


Having some experience in break-ups involving people with Aspergers, automatically I realize that probably the best medicine is distraction. Get their minds to obsessively go over entirely different tracks by shifting the train engine sideways, as it were.

I also know that whenever I ask if she wants to see a cute picture from Facebook or elsewhere on the web, she'll say 'no'. She's not into cute. Unlike me, she's a hard-nosed cold and unemotional Cantonese female, utterly opposed to cute, adorable, charming, sweet, or any of the other gentler things.

Hard-nosed. Cold. Unemotional.


So the other day I didn't ask.


I just lifted up my computer and rotated it one hundred and eighty degrees so that she could see.


AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Crucial background: she still has a teddy bear, who is her best friend in the whole wide world. When she was a little girl, she had pet hamsters whom she loved.

Let's call it 'pre-conditioning'.
