RETARDED  GRANDPARENTS  (this was actually reported by a  teacher)  After a holiday, a teacher asked her young pupils  how they spent  their time away from school. One child wrote the  following:  We always used to spend the holidays with  Grandma and Grandpa. They  used to live in a big brick house but  Grandpa got retarded and they moved  to  Florida.   Now they  live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look  like   grass. They ride around on their bicycles and wear name tags because  they  don't know who they are anymore.  They go to  a building called a wrecked center, but they must have  got it fixed  because it is all okay now, and do exercises there, but they  don't  do them very well.  There is a swimming pool too, but in  it, they all jump up and down  with hats on.  At  their gate, there is a doll house with a  little old man sitting  in it. He watches all day so nobody can  escape. Sometimes they sneak out.  They go cruising in  their golf carts! Nobody there cooks, they just  eat out. And, they  eat the same thing every night --- early birds.  Some of  the people can't get out past the man in the doll house.   The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center for  pot, mr luck.  My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all  his life to earn his   retard ment and says I should work hard so I  can be retarded someday too.  When I earn my retardment, I  want to be the man in the doll house.   Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren.   ........PRICELESS
