RETIRED GRANDPARENTS - (this was actually reported by a teacher)


After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their
holiday away from school.
---------------------------One child wrote the following:

We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa got retried and they moved to Florida.
Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like
grass. They ride around on their bicycles and wear name tags because they don't know who they are anymore.

They go to a building called a wreck center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now, they do exercises there, but they don't do them very well.


There is a swimming pool too, but they all jump up and down in it with hats on.
At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in
it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out, and go
cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And, they
eat the same thing every night --- early birds. Some of the people can't get out
past the man in the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food back
to the wrecked center for pot luck.

My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retirement
and says I should work hard so I can be retire someday too. When I earn my
retirement, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let
people out,so they can visit their grandchildren.-----------PRICELESS
