Guest guest Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Last night Faith's respite care giver (Tameika) took her to the county fair along with 3 other girls Faith knows from Girl Scouts. I was shocked that she stayed there 6 hours, and still didn't want to leave! Last year was the first year she would go and we only stayed 2 hours.On one of the rides a girl not in their group pointed to Faith and said to her friend, "She's mental". Tameika stormed onto the ride and said to the girl, "She's not mental, she has Down syndrome". The girl replied, "Oh, sorry".Tameika's friend said he just wanted to hit the girl!We agonize over what to say, but I think Tameika got it just right.ettemom to Faith (12)Ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
