"RETARDED" GRANDPARENTS
Written by a third grader , on what his grandparents do.
After Christmas , a teacher asked her young pupils how they
spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used
to live in a big brick house , but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to
Florida. Now they live in a tin box that has wheels, but its strapped to
the ground. They ride around on their bicycles , and wear name tags ,
because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a building
called a wreck center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all
okay now. They do exercises there , but they don't do them very well.
There is a swimming pool too, but they all just jump up and down in it
with hats on. At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man
sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they
sneak out, and go cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there cooks; they
just eat out. And, they eat the same thing every night - early birds.
Some of the people can't get out past the man in the doll house. The ones
who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center for pot luck. My
Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and ,
says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my
retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let
people out, so they can visit their grandchildren.
PRICELESS
