I don't know about your kids, but Nicholas getting restless, and on the edge of a full blown fit, should be an Olympic sport. And naturally during the Nicholas Show, I see the face of pity from the blond sharing the pew. I bet you would gladly trade places with any mother in this church. I don't feel I have to justify my opinion that this was clearly a very stupid remark. And I think that is what really confuses me the most.
Stupid remarks come in all shapes and sizes, some are even pretty comical.
Like the time I was in Kmart and a woman walked up to me and told me she had read in the National Enquirer that if you feed crippled children bone marrow, they will walk. For me though, the pity-parties are the ones that really yank my chain. If anyone sympathizes with me because my child is profoundly retarded - that just tells me they have no clue why I love Nicholas and why I do the things I do for him. I really don't care if Nicholas walks tomorrow, I'll be the first one to throw a party, but I'm not going to cry a river or resent God and country because he can't. I have but one expectation, and that is that Nicholas wakes up in the morning.
