Aphasia

He was standing in what seemed to be a very long queue.

Nobody else that came into the place seemed to think there was anything strange about what they were doing. Was coming here to register a normal thing to do? Apparently, they were all there for the same reason. Was he the only one thinking that it was such a waste of time? Goodness knows, he really didn’t want to be there. He felt it was completely unnecessary to have to line up like this. He was getting bored with just standing there. The queue was hardly moving at all! He looked around and realised that the queue consisted of other kids. All of them seemed to be around his own age. Are they all from his school? Do they all have learning difficulties, like him?

His teacher says he has a thing called aphasia. She says he writes down and sometimes says things that don’t make any sense. Was it her or my parents that sent me here?

All of a sudden, he was at the counter. The lady smiled and said, “Can I have your please name”.

“My what?”

“Your please name. I need it for computer you on the finding”.

“I’m sorry, I really don’t understand.”

“What is it you are understanding trouble having?”

“Well, just about everything you are saying is confusing me. I mean, it’s important that I get my registration right, right?”

“When you say, registration right-right, I find your confusing of speech most mode.”

He was about to say “Most mode?” when his alarm went off.

It had all seemed so real. It had been as though it was really happening! He laid there for a while, just thinking about it all.

His mother called out again, saying if he didn’t get a move on, he’d be late for school. He jumped out of bed.

There was something odd about the dream, but he couldn’t figure out what it was. He knew he needed to concentrate on getting ready now.

He would think about it on the bus.
