Essay on grandparents

[valerie]

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

Arizona. 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 and call it pot luck.

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

and says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I

earn my retardant, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let

people out so they can visit their grandchildren.
