Over the summer I took my son and his friend on a ride at the local fair. My son has Down syndrome, which is relevant to the story in that he doesn't have the sort of fantastical imagination of his peers. Said differently, he doesn't make stuff up. As we were sitting waiting for the attendant to buckle everyone in my son hit himself. (This is NOT at all normal behavior). So I was all "WTH?" He replied, "John told me to."

Me: "Who is John?" (We are literally locked and loaded into a spinning something of death). He replies, pointing in front of us: "John and Steven, the guys standing in front of us with ketchup [ was it blood, I will never know]all over their faces." No one was standing there. He has never mentioned them or done anything like this since.
