RE: The Legend of Teeterass: A Kid Story

in #writing7 years ago

Geez, it's weird what you do as a kid, isn't it? When I was a small girl (must've been about 8), I had a classmate who wasn't "right", to quote you. And I remember that we used to make such fun of him, to taunt him. Amazes me how mean we could sometimes be...

Sort:  

It's good that we grow... Up in the North End (the Italian section of Boston) there was a guy with Down Syndrome who used to walk around with a transistor radio up to his ear... we called him "Frankie Transistor." Then when I grew up I coached Special Olympics when I was in college... the nicest people I ever met!!! We really need more Down Syndrome people to learn about love and trust!
