Racing in a Ford is like the special Olympics, even if you win you’re still a retard!
I wish people would watch what they say.................... That may be a joke to you, but for some forum members, that is a reality.
I was notified a few minutes ago about the tasteless joke. I already knew someone on this forum who has a child that is special. Now I know of 2 people who have special children.
With over 10,000 forum users, I doubt they are the only 2.
I can't relate to the fact of what it feels for them to see those type comments as I am not in their shoes.
I do know what the reaction is like as I made an special olympics joke many years ago back in high school and watched a girl break down and start crying.........I did not know her brother was mentally retarded.........Lesson learned in the face of someone who has a special family member.
I felt 2 foot tall and like crap after it happened. To this day when I see her, that image of that day comes back to me. And I still feel 2 foot tall when I see her.
Just know that this forum has a wide variety of members from different parts of the country, different nationalities, and different circumstances such as having special children.
I am reminded back to that old nursey rhyme that goes:
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.
I learned many years ago that is not true. By the email I recieved tonight, those words did hurt.
