a case of stolen identity

What do you do when your son has chosen a life of criminal behavior?

It's not the first time, he's committed the crime of identity theft and I don't know what to do about it. Yes, it's sad but true...Alec filled out the name line on his school papers not with his own perfectly good, thoughtfully chosen name but with (GASP!) the name of Ashton Kutcher!


As I said before, this is not the first time he's tried to steal someone else's identity. Over the past many years he has been Luke Skywalker (Star Wars), Ron Weasley (Harry Potter), Will Turner (Pirates of the Caribbean), Joseph Smith (The Work and the Glory), Goldfish (The Guardian), Troy Bolton (High School Musical)and many more.

I am not sure where this criminal behavior will lead...



(Editor's Note: For any unfamiliar with my family, Alec is my 16-year-old son. He has Down syndrome and autism and loves movies. He often re-enacts them. He has been tarred and feathered multiple times. He has felt "the force". He has sailed ships and fought pirates. He has rescued lost fishermen or boaters. It is a total crack-up except times like last night when he woke me up at 1 am screaming as he re-enacted some movie scene or another.)
