*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 Christmas holidays with
Grandma and Grandpa. *
*They used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa got
retarded and they moved to Batemans Bay where everyone lives
in nice little houses, and so they don't have to mow the
grass anymore! *
*They ride around on their bicycles and scooters and wear
name tags because they don't know who they are anymore. *
*They go to a building called a wreck centre, 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. *
*PRICELESS! *
