Silly Spongebob!!!!

I haven't had a ton of time to post lately, but I certainly don't want this story to be lost...   So, here it goes.   A couple of weeks ago, I had just gotten home from work and was sitting in the bathtub, something I do everyday, while Mason watches T.V.  It's a ritual of sorts...  A SANCTUARY!!!!  Mason has grown to learn that this is Mom's time and to "Please leave her alone" :)  This one particular day, as I sat in my "sanctuary"...  I heard Mason yelling in his room.  At first I couldn't understand what he was saying, but I knew that he was as mad as could be.  He was yelling at imaginary Spongebob!  Apparently, imaginary Spongebob had messed up Mason's room and Mason was letting him have it. He was saying...."I told you no spongebob..you no mess up Mason's room...  You stupid Spongebob...  get back here Spongebob.... I siad NO.....   You clean up this mess NOW!!!!  I was secretly giggling in my "sanctuary".... and for the next 10 minutes, he continued to bawl Spongebob out!..........  then came the hysterical part........   Mason came down the hallway towards the bathroom...  still yelling of course....  opened the bathroom door...   and tossed Spongebob into the toilet and yelled....  "it's back to the chum bucket for you Spongebob!!!"  and then....... he flushed him down the drain!  I guess that will teach Spongebob to not mess Mason's room up again :)  I still don't quite understand what he was getting at, because Mason's room was actually spotless that day.... and I don't know where he got that conversation from, because I've never asked Mason to help clean anything in the house, I've never yelled at him for a messy room or scolded him for anything about his room.  :)  The good part of this is.... At one point when a pediatrician told us some details of Autism....  He said that Mason may never have an imagination or be able to Role Play....  Guess Mason proved that doctor wrong!!!!!!
