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 Arizona . 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.
