After a Christmas break, teacher asked her young pupils how they spent
their holidays. One small boy wrote the following:
We always spend
Christmas 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 place
with a lot of other retarded people. They all live in little tin boxes. They
ride on big 3 wheeled tricycles and they all wear name tags because they
don't know who they are. They go to a big building called the wrecked hall;
but if they wrecked it, they got it fixed because it's all right now. They
play games and do exercise there, but they don't do them very
good.
There is a swimming pool there. They go into it and just stand
there with their hats on. I guess they don't know how to swim.
As you
go into their park, there is a doll house with a little man sitting in it. He
watches all day so they can't go out without him seeing them. When they can
sneak out they go to the beach and pick up shells they think are
dollars,
My Grandma used to bake cookies and stuff, but I guess she
forgot how. Nobody cooks, they just eat out. They eat the same thing every
night, "Early Birds." Some of the people are so retarded that they don't know
how to cook at all, so my Grandma and Grandpa bring food into the wrecked
hall and thery call it "pot luck."
My Grandma says Grandpa worked all
his life to earn his retardment. I wish they would move back up here, but I
guess the little man in the doll house won't let them out.
