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
Very funny. He laughs a fair amount on his show now, but maybe that's just because I watch it often. He's still no Jimmy Fallon.
ReplyDeleteSometimes when I have a really bad day I seek this out on youtube. It always cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteYou're right. First time I've seen him lose focus.
ReplyDeletehe breaks pretty regularly on his show, but it's somehow endearing.
