Written by a third grader , on what his
grandparents do.
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 wreck center , 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.
