My friend told me that when he was in high school, he lost to a disabled boy in a race and I just find it totally unbelievable
What a range of celebrities in the house: Hitler, Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben..whew!
Is he just as disabled as the boy he lost to? Are you disabled for believing this? Are you considering taking revenge on the disabled boy for winning the race by flinging your poo at him?
depends on what the disability is and just how motivated the other child was.
Last I was in Alabama (in the '90s) being disabled was still a taboo...
I remember sitting in my English class, when a kid raised his hand and asked, "Ms. Gore? Why is this classroom bigger than all of the other ones?"
Now, to be clear, I was one of three non-natives sitting in a 25 kid class. The other two were a black girl and a little hispanic boy.
"Well, it's because this used to be a special-ed classroom". The children went into a massive frenzy screaming "OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO CATCH THE RETARDED!". I looked over at the black girl, she was mortified by the screaming. The hispanic kid to my right had the same expression. It seemed that they knew that the "retarded" wasn't contagious, but they were thinking on changing their minds.
I was in the 4th grade as I sat in the classroom, and I still remember the thought going through my mind that day...
"You already caught it".
Good times.
I have a disabled friend who would beat me every time. He has a souped-up wheelchair. The thing can do about 25mph and is controlled with a little joystick. He let me have a go once. Much fun!
