Here’s Monday the game is over and, wait for it, THE GIANTS WIN!So it’s time to move on to other things Before the game yesterday Ruby and Jeff went to Exito and as they were walking down the road there was the usual juggler at the intersection. He had with a young retarded man and that got Jeff to thinking do you notice that these young people seem to look very much alike and I don’t mean that in a dispiriting way it’s just seems that the littlest thing make them happy not like us. Every time Jeff sees these people, and they are people, he’s always amazed to see that smile even when someone is making fun of them. Don’t get me wrong Jeff has seen them cry especially when they lose a completion like the Special Olympics. They just seem to get over it better than we do they understand there’s more to life then games they can get excited over seeing a flower or a bird sing in a nearby tree. These are people that society tells are different they’re called retards by children and adults When in reality all they want to do is be liked to have friends and they don’t mind if you laugh at them once in awhile (Jeff and I don’t). So the next time you see one of these people don’t look the other way or cross the street or tell your child don’t look he’s just different. Take a good look at that smile and ask yourself   this who’s better off you complaining about the traffic or your sports team that lost the other night or that young person on the side of the walk with the flower in his hand and a big smile on his face. We all know that we’re probably better off but you know it just doesn’t feel like it. I’m Flounder I’m a cat and I’m out of here.
