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
At a family dinner years ago, my son and his little cousin were running around my SIL's house. I heard giggling and an odd buzzing sound coming out of the bedroom, so naturally I jumped up and ran to the bedroom before the kids came out waving what I assumed was a giant battery operated dildo. Turns out they had just got a hold of an electric toothbrush. I told my SIL what happened, but oddly enough, she was neither impressed by quick reaction, nor amused by my assumption she owned a giant dildo.
ReplyDeletefun times!
ReplyDeleteKirby: At a future family dinner I suggest you plant a large battery powered dildo someplace that is easy to find, just to see, you know, what happens!
