After  Spring Break, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holidays.  One small child wrote the following:

    "We always used to spend the holidays with Gampa and Gamma.  They used to live here in a big brick home, but Grampa got retarded and they moved to Florida.  Now they live in a place with a lot of other retarded people.  They all live in little tin boxes.
They ride on big three- wheeled tricycles and they all have name tags because they don't know who they are.  They go to a big building called a wrecked hall, but they must have got it fixed because it's all right now.   They play games and do exercises there, but they don't them very good.  There is a swimming pool there, but they just stand in it with their hats on.  I guess they don't know how to swim.
    As you go to their park, there is a doll house  with a little man sitting in it.  He watches all day long so they can't get out without him seeing them.  When they can sneak out, they go to the beach and pick up shells.
    My Gramma used to bake cookies and stuff, but I guess she forgot how.  Nobody cooks, they just eat out.  They eat the same thing every night; "early birds."   Some of the people don't know how to cook at all.  So my Gramma and Grampa bring food into the wrecked hall and they call it "pot luck."
    My Gramma says Gampa worked all his life and earned his retardment.  I wish they would move back up here, but I guess the little man in the doll house won't let them out.
