Concerning retirement
With the recent topic of retirement, I thought you would all enjoy this child's report of retirement.
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.
