Retirement..........retarded grandparents


For all those who are or near to retirement,.... and for those heading  there...


  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 Florida . 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 wreck center, 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 center 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.
