Sorry ... folks! This was sent to me by a Mito mom with Mito and it

tickled my senior Mito funny bone enough to share with y'all! Indulge

this granny and have a giggle at my expense, EH?

Even if you're not a grandparent you will enjoy this. A teacher asked

her young pupils how they spent their vacation.

One child wrote the following:

We always spend our vacation with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to

live here in a big, brick house, but Grandpa got retarded and they moved

to Florida and now they live in a place with a lot of other retarded

people.

They live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass.

They ride around on big tricycles 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 right now. They play games and 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

their hats on. I guess they don't know how to swim.

At their gate there is a dollhouse with a little old man sitting in it.

He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out.

Then they go cruising in their golf carts.

My grandma used to bake cookies and stuff, but I guess she forgot how.

Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And they eat the same thing

every night: Early Birds.

Some of the people can't get past the man in the dollhouse to go out, so

the ones who get out bring food back to the wrecked center and call it

pot luck.

My Grandma says Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and

says I should work hard so I can be retarded one day, too.

When I earn my retardment I want to be the man in the dollhouse. Then I

will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren.
