I understand exactly what he was saying. The words are pretty clear. What I don't understand is why he was saying it. Why do you think he was saying it? What bearing did it have on the question asked? He wasn't asked if Dylan was hard to wake up, or why hadn't Mark taken Dylan with him, or even why didn't Dylan get up. If he had been asked any of those questions, his answer would have made sense.I guess here again, we have an example what some what to hear/vs what others hear. Each to their own sort of thing ... "truth" again!!
To me:
MR is saying when HE had DR at his house, DR was hard to wake up since it wasn't a school day and most of the time when MR had DR it wasn't a school day.
DR could ride the school bus to MR house when he "could" and neither parent had to see/get involved with the other = good thing since they don't get along.
I guess I understand what the guy was saying and other's don't. K.
Tell me what train of thought might have gotten Mark from the question "So, so you guys watched the movie and then, and then, you had plans to go, and then what happened? Did he just?" (admittedly a very poor question) to Mark's description of how convenient a school bus was for both parents. I jump tracks in my thought process all the time, so I allow that this could happen. Even if someone is a word salad person, my thought process would go through the rest of the evening first, then to the next morning, and if I were easily distracted by my own words, maybe to how convenient life was for me when my missing son rode a school bus (kind of reminiscing, perhaps?) I am at a loss, and would like another take that I could look at and say "Oh, OK. Not something I would do, but I can see why someone would do that."
