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.

Too kind....but it's the very least any of us could do. You are ,again, too kind---but I didn't type it for me. I had forgot about this passage of time and thought it sort of important to throw out.

Honest...I was that dumb. I do not even give one thought to someone like him realizing what they had. I can't tell you how dumbfounded I was when he said that.





Fucl<...he probably did notice it. I'll bet his thought was.." Normal people------what are ya gonna do??"
