phinnia | the sign for 'fuck you' is easy to learn

So Chris called the speech-language pathologist today to try and deal with the sign language lessons, and to yell at them again because the kid is using 'more' instead of 'eat' to request food even though we've asked them to not do that. (We got his midyear report yesterday. That goal was still on there. Not Pleased.) He volunteered to call because I'd yelled at them at least twice not to do that and they're apparently congenitally deaf to the register of my voice.

SLP: Oh, we're not having much success with the signing.

Chris: That's funny, because we are. I taught him the sign for 'jump' in ten minutes.

SLP: Oh, well, we have him sign 'more' and then point to a tactile symbol, but we have to keep repeating it a lot. He's not seeming to get it.

Chris: Well, see, that's not what we do at home at all. In fact that's what we asked you not to do, remember?

SLP: See, I ask him what he wants, and nothing happens. So I'll make him do the sign for 'more' and then point to eat and give him a drink, but he's happy with that. Or I'll point to drink and give him food and he's okay with that.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, BITCH?

You insist on using these tactile graphics even though you admit they don't work.

You are CONFUSING MY CHILD.

MY CHILD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND LANGUAGE. YOU ARE ASKING HIM A QUESTION, AND IT IS COMING OUT BLAH BLAH BLAH. OF COURSE NOTHING IS HAPPENING, YOU STUPID BITCH.

AND I FUCKING WONDER WHY HIS COMMUNICATION IS GETTING NO BETTER?

Fucking livid. Do not know what to do, as driving a ford explorer up the intestines of the SLP is probably a waste of a perfectly good ford explorer, and I don't want to get deported. Obviously talking = not working. Advice please. I'm going to go char-broil something for dinner with my new Dragon Powers.
