I had to go to a meeting for a special needs child at her high school.There were three other students in her class.
The teacher asked the students, "What holiday is in March?" An autistic boy said, "St. Pat's Day!"
And the teacher asked, "And what do we do on St. Patrick's Day?" Before anyone could answer, a child with Down's Syndrome called out from her desk:
"DRINK BEER!"
And she laughed and clapped. She was quite pleased with herself. And I was quite pleased with her. I haven't laughed that hard since I read Todd's blog.
Fritz on her 8th birthday, clogging through the Chicago streets, leading snakes out of the gutters.
Slán agus beannacht leat! (Goodbye and blessings to you)
