~*~ A Childs View Of Retirement ~*~

After a Christmas break, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holidays.
One small boy wrote the following....
We all used to spend Christmas with grandpa and grandma. They used to live here
in a brick house. But grandpa got retarted and they moved to Florida.
Now they live in a place with a lot of retarted people.they all live in little tin
boxes. They ride three wheeled tricycles and they all wear name tags because
they bon't know who thay are. They go to a 'wrecked hall' but if it was
wrecked, they got it fixed, because it's all right now.
they play games and do exercises there, but they don't do them pretty good.

There is a swimming pool there. They go in 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 big doll house
with a little man sitting in it.
He watches all day so htey don't get out without him seeing them.
When they can sneak out, they go to the beach and pick up shells that
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 people are retarted
they don't know how to cook at all. So my grandma and grandpa bring food
into the wrecked hall and they call it potted luck.

My grandma says that grandpaworkedall his life and earned 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.
