CHRISTMAS WITH GRANDPARENTS
After Christmas vacation, a teacher asked her small pupils to write an account of how they spent their holidays. One youngster wrote about a visit to his grandparents in a life-care community for retired folks: “We always spend Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa,” he said. “They used to live here in a big red house, but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida. They live in a place with a lot of retarded people. They live in tin huts. They ride big three wheel tricycles. They go to a big building they call a wrecked hall, but it is fixed now. They play games there and do exercises, but they don’t do them very good. There is a swimming pool, and they go to it and just stand there in the water with their hats on. I guess they don’t know how to swim.”
