RETARDED-OK

Put your writing here.

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 & Grandpa.  They
 used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa got retarded & they moved to Arizona.  Now they live in a tin box & have rocks painted green to look like grass.
 They ride around on their golf carts & 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. They play games & do exercises there,but they don’t do them very well.  There is a swimming pool too, but in it, they all jump up & down with hats on, while they talk to each other.
 I guess they don’t know how to swim.
 At their gate, there is a dollhouse 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 dollhouse. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center & call it pot luck.

 My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his
 retardment & 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 dollhouse. Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren
