[blparent] stats

[Brandy W]

I had a lady in a store once tell my 3 year old niece to be a good shoppers
helper, and that the desk I was looking for was over there. I looked at the
lady and said. "I'm the adult and she is the child, and I'm looking for that
desk to get shoppers assistance. Do you have any further questions for me?"
She didn't answer. People are so dumb. Bran

Lol!  Did you tell the lady that your daughter fed and clothed you just
fine?  People can be so stupid.  How ludicrous to think that we have
children just so they can take care of us.

We had a visit, with a sighted soupose, but it was because someone called in

on us for stupid stuff.  I do most of the caregiving, but people seem to
assume that because Gerald is around, he could handle an emergency.  I had
one lady at the park tell Sarah that she must take really good care of his
mommy.  I said for a two-year-old, she did all right.
