I Really Can’t Stand “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

An unpopular opinion that needs to be told

When my brother and I were very little and his autism wasn’t diagnosed yet, he had a lot of trouble speaking like a normal human person. At four and five years old, he was still babbling in unintelligible baby-talk half the time, and people couldn’t understand him. Fortunately, at six and seven years old, I was still young enough to mostly understand baby-talk but old enough to speak decent English. I was essentially and unpaid translator for a while.
