This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend
So does this mean that I have the go ahead to throw my own poo at evildoers?
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned Kirby, you have the OK, AND, the encouragement to throw poo!
ReplyDeleteawesome!

win some kind
of award... even thought
it wouldn't mean anything
Neat stuff, S.D.!
ReplyDeleteOh, and did someone mention poo?
Kirby - as a monkey, I feel the need to correct you - it's fling your own poo.
ReplyDeleteJen: Puts us in our place, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteChris: Say it loud, say it proud!
POOOOOOOOO
GKL: But is it a gaggle of monkeys, or a barrel?
So we're monkey's with a collective identity crisis...that's cool.
