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 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.
