A child's view of retirement
in a mobile home park:


[Boy]After Christmas break, the teacher asked
her small pupils how they spent their holiday.
One little boy's reply went like this:

"We always spend Christmas with Grandma
and Grandpa."

"They used to live up here in a big
brick house,
but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to
Florida."

"They live in a park with a lot of other
retarded people."

"They all live in tin huts.
They ride tricycles
that are too big for me."

"They all go to a building they call
the wrecked hall, but it is fixed now.
They all do exercise but not very well.
They play a game with big
checkers and push them around on the floor
with sticks."

"There is a swimming pool but I guess nobody
teaches them. They just stand there in
the water with their hats on."

"My Grandma used to bake cookies for me,
but nobody cooks there.
They all go to restaurants
that are fast and have discounts."

"When you come into the park, there is a doll
house with a man sitting in it.
He watches all day
so they can't get out without him seeing them.
I guess everybody forgets who they are because
they all wear badges with their names on them."

"Grandma says that Grandpa worked hard all his
life to earn his retardment.
I wish they would move
back home, but I guess the man in the doll house
won't let them out."
