Retarded Grandparents
RETARDED GRANDPARENTS ( this was actually reported by
the 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 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 wrecked center, but they must
have got it fixed because it is all okay now, and do exercises
there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming
pool too, but in it, they all jump up and down 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. They 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
and call it 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.
