1. Best Internet: "Slow" Grandparents?



I certainly don't like the word "retarded" when used with people, but this is funny, and it's certainly not the first time around that I have seen it...


"RETARDED"GRANDPARENTS ...Written by a third grader, on what his grandparents do.

After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holidayaway from school. One child wrote the following:
             
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa.  They usedto live in a big brick house with a dog and kitty, but Grandpa got retarded andthey moved to Arizona.

Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green tolook like grass and no pets allowed.  They ride around on their bicycles,and wear name tags, because they don't know who they are anymore.  They goto a building called a wreck center, but they must have got it fixed because itis all okay now, they do exercises there, but they don't do them verywell.  There is a swimming pool too, but they all jump up and down in itwith hats on.  At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old mansitting in it.  He watches all day so nobody can escape.

Sometimes they sneak out, and go cruising in their golfcarts.  Nobody there cooks, they just eat out.  And they eat the samething every night - early birds.   Some of the people can't get outpast the man in the little doll house.  The ones who do get out, bringfood back to the wrecked center for pot luck.
