They can't stay children
I think I've said before that one of the unregarded plus sides of having a developmentally delayed child is that you get to enjoy the child part of their life longer.
This morning as I was slowly waking up (about 10), Mike heard me and came in. "You don't know yet, 'bout the splosions," he said soberly. "They blew up buses and a train, in Lonnon. You can find out more if you go to CNN.com."
Dammit, why should ANY kids in the world, of whatever intellectual capacity, have to learn to accept that stuff like this happens?
I was going to say 'have to understand it', but I really don't think that's possible. If it was understandable, it wouldn't be happening, eh? Because what you can understand, you can eventually fix.
Or maybe *I* am the one too naive for this world.
