Is this in anyone's future?
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.

I hope some day I can be retarded too!

home. The same goes if I get alzeheimers. The thought of losing my mind and being kept like
one of /my/ clients in a facility is the ultimate terror for me. Then again, I've often
stated in RL that I would rather shoot myself then /ever/ be in an old age home. The same
goes if I get alzeheimers. The thought of losing my mind and being kept like one of /my/

I expect reteirment will be that short stay in the hospital when I collapse at work sometime
in 30 or 40 years. I just don't see anything being left in the system or my own savings to
be enough to live on by the time I get to that magic age. Maybe Pete Townsend was right.
Okay Buttah...you are so spanked for getting me on this riff. *facepaws and swats* ^.^
