Apparently, out here in "Redville" we have a lot of "slow" children since you see these signs on every block in every subdivision.
It brings to me to these questions.
1) Are these kids slow mentally or just not too fleet a foot? You can't really tell from the sign. The figure looks more like a power walker.
2) I thought in the day of mainstreaming we weren't supposed to identify children as "slow".
3) If/when you see one of these "slow" children are you supposed to point at them or not make eye contact? Are you allowed to feed them?
4) Where the hell are the "quick" kids in these neighborhoods and why aren't we identifying them with one of those "my kid is an honor roll student at Pisgah Junior High" bumper stickers?
5) It seems to me that most of these slow kids are going to be democrats some day so why aren't their families moving back to the city where they'll be right at home with the slow members of, say, the Detroit city council.
Finally, why aren't we identifying the "slow" parents?
