I know I'm full of ca-ca....but I live near someone with Downs and talk to him a lot. One day he was talking about someone else who was bothering him and he broke in with.." you know ,I realize have Down Syndrome ,but that doesn't mean I'm stupid."

I hope I didn't show my shock...don't think so. For some idiotic reason I was really floored by watching him tell me he knows what he has and did it in a very clear way...he understood what he has.

I was the one that felt completely stupid.

good man morty for spending time with him.
