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
that's going to be hard to explain later when her brother is soul-kissing her good night.
ReplyDeleteAnd is it just me, or should she have said something to him before this??
Very quick thinking. Unlike my niece's ex-husband who explained the girl in their bedroom as one of my niece's "forgotten" old friends that just stopped by to visit.
ReplyDeleteVery smooth...now how to explain that he has an accent and she doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI'd have picked "C" too. Take the beer and leave this slag for her bozo boyfriend. Chicks are everywhere, but a good beer is a treasure.

I'd have taken the brother ay old day!
