A new 'thing'

 Last night Ash went up to bed before me which is almost unheard of.  I heard him let the water out of the bath and then went upstairs, gave him a kiss, switched off the light and came back down again.  

Five minutes later he was downstairs telling me something with great enthusiasm and excitement.  The problem was that I had no idea what he was saying.  He strung words into sentences and then put those sentences together but they made no sense.  Each sentence stood by itself but they were completely unrelated to each other and I listened on becoming more and more bewildered.  I murmured something or other and nodded my head once or twice until, finally, he was satisfied that he'd given me the information I needed and then went back upstairs to bed and to sleep.

This shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise because Ash's speech is getting more and more jumbled.  Sentences are mangled on a regular basis, words come out in the wrong order and nothing about conversation is straightforward any more but this is the first time I've been at a complete loss regarding the topic or the meaning and I was taken unawares.

One more step then in this adventure through life.
