RETARDED GRANDPARENTS - (this was actually reported by a
teacher)
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 and have rocks painted green
to look like grass. 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 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.
