Zach and Christy

My neighbor and her son. Zach, who has autism, wanted to go to "camp" (Harlow Lake cabins) when he got home from a half-day of school. So we went out to Cabin 6. He wasn't happy, though, to find out we didn't have a key to the cabin.
When he kept saying "Cabin" we told him we didn't have a key. So then he'd say "Key." Again, we told him we didn't have one. He then switched between "cabin", "key", "bitch" (meaning "beach"), and "homo" (which means "home").
