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
They aren't lying. The olds get up so early that they can burn the motherfucker down and still have time to hit Souplantation for their four o'clock dinner.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! They are like the old Army ad. They do more before 9AM than the rest of us do all day.

ReplyDeleteIsn't it though? I love those old people!
DeleteBetter late than never I always say, but OMG this is SO FUCKING GREAT I watched it twice and chortled like a maniac. There is nothing as pure and awesome as a 97 year old lady saying "motherfucker". And I've had cheese!
