Special Needs

I lived in another country for six months.  My host family thought I was retarded.

I know that's not a politically correct term, but it's the one they used.

I didn't speak the language all that well, and they assumed that meant I wasn't smart.

Kinda like assuming that a deaf person is "un-cultured" just 'cause he doesn't like opera.

If you can't hear the music, it's just a fat lady waving at people.

...and I'm not retarded.
