Below are some of the things Roan has been saying these days that get a big laugh from us. And oh we thank God for these not too infrequent moments of unexpected laughter, as we need them throughout the day to balance out the steady abuse he subjects us to (e.g. just today he kicked Casey in the left nut, crippling him; he screamed bloody murder and threw a half-eaten apple in Trader Joe’s when refused a second apple; he grabbed Lavina’s glasses off her face in anger and squeezed them in his hands almost to the point of crushing because he was angry about having to wash his hands…how much time do you have for today’s beat-down log?).
- Roan saying goodbye to visitors: “Good luck!”
- Roan to Casey, saying goodnight at bedtime: “Good luck!”
- Roan waving to Lavina, as she leaves the apartment: “Bye honey!”
- Roan mimicking Lavina’s road rage in the car: “That’s ridiculous!” (followed by a lot of unintelligible grunting, exclaiming, and protesting)
- Roan waving to Casey, as he leaves the apartment: “Bye Son!”
- Roan’s reply when asked what was the matter, why he got upset: “I’s juss freakin out.”
- Roan angrily admonishing Lavina when she bursts out laughing at his funny sayings: “DON’T LAUGH!”
