RETARDED GRANDPARENTS

(this was actually reported by a teacher)

After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent

their holiday 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 Batemans Bay where everyone lives in nice little

houses, and so they don't have to mow the grass anymore!

They ride around on their bicycles and scooters and wear name tags

because they don't know who they are anymore.

They go to a building called a wreck centre, but they must have got

it fixed because it is all okay now. They do exercises there, but

they don't do them very well.

There is a swimming pool too, but they all jump up and down in it

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, and 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 centre for

pot luck.

My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his

retardment 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!
