[blparent] The carnival incident

[Veronica Smith]

Even the uneducated or the questionable should know the truth about peeps
with disabilities. 
My daughter has been asked the cooking question time and time again and Gab
is always happy to tell them that mom does most of the cooking.

Hi all, 

We should all consider the source at the carnival. Often the carnival
workers themselves are not very educated people. The joke always is around
regarding their possible criminal backgrounds. So keep this in mind when
trying to educate this group. 

Also, remember that your children will always get asked crazy questions.
Just the other day an individual at a local pool where we swim asked my
daughter if we have a person to come cook our meals given that my husband
and I are both blind. I was happy that my daughter told me this story rather
than keeping the info inside. I told her people will always question her
parents abilities. She should just get used to their naivety. I also told
her to tell them her dad can grill up a mean steak or fish dinner if they
are interested in some great grilling just come on over.
