Respsonse to Sedaris

I really did not know what to think of this story.  I thought it was strange that this kid had to go around and touch everything.  I am not sure how I would handle being the teacher of this kid or his parent.  I think it would be relatively hard to get him to learn anything or to behave himself in public.  It is an interesting look at someone who has an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that causes them to do stuff.  I am glad my brain is not wired to do things like he does.  I do not think anyone could really learn much of anything if they are constantly thinking about items they did not touch, lick, or pass the right way.  This story makes it easier, for people like myself who do not have OCD, to understand what those people who do have this disorder are going through.  This short story also shows us how to add things to our paper to keep the reader enticed.  The way he describes all of his behaviors makes the reader feel like he or she is there.  He provides very vivid and hilarious examples of how to get the readers to keep reading.
