Childs Description Of A Visit To Grandparents House:
We spent Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick home up here, but grandpa go retired and they moved to Florida. Now they live in a place with a lot of other retired people. They ride on big tree wheeler tricycles and they all wear nametags, because they don't know who they are. They go to a big building call a wrecked hall, but if it was wrecked, they got it fixed because it looks good now. They play games and do exercises there but they don't do them very good. There is a swimming pool at the wrecked hall. They go into it and just stand there with their hats on. I guess they forgot how to swim when they got retarded.
As you drive into their neighborhood, there is a little dollhouse with a little man sitting in it. He watches all day so they can't get out without him seeing them. When they sneak out, they go to the beach and pick up shells they think are dollars. My grandma use to bake cookies and stuff, but I guess she forgot how. Nobody in Florida cooks. They eat the same things every nigh. They call them early birds. Some of the people are so retired that they don't know how to cook at all, so my Grandma and Grandpa bring food into the wrecked hall and they call it POT LUCK. My Grandma says Grandpa worked all his life and earned retirement. I wish they would move back up there, but I guess the little man in the dollhouse won't let them out.
Out of the mouth of babes.
