Uuuuuuuup

Adi is quite into her "uuuuuuuup" -s. She takes them very seriously.



The speech therapist is really (really) into the word up.



And since Adel likes to imitate, there was a time she was up-up-up-uping all day long.



Even at inappropriate times. The way Adel works is that when she is challenged, she will revert to an action she knows well. At one point, when she was expected to raise her arms and say "up," she'd revert to clapping, which she knew how to do well. Eventually, the "up" became the default action she would revert to.
"Want me to do something difficult? Well, wouldn't you rather see how well I can do uuuuuup?"



So all her other therapists started to discourage "up." Soon enough Adel dropped it altogether.



And now she finally found the golden medium, and says "up" at mostly appropriate times.
