Am I weird? ( the interesting foibles that make us who we are.)

No. He's getting to be very uncooperative. I'm not sure if he's truly confused or just his normal "I'm in charge" attitude. He keeps insisting that I bring him home. When I tell him I can't take...

Next Tuesday is Hubby's birthday. He can't have cake or ice cream. His room is small and he's in protective isolation, so an IRL party is out of the question.
