I checked in a group of differently abled folks today. It was two care-takers, two differently-abled women & one differently-abled man.
One of the d-a women threw a temper tantrum. She yelled, "Nooooo!!!" at one of the care-takers & spat her dentures out at the woman. Then she threw herself down on the floor & proceeded to host a one-person passive-resistance movement. The other d-a woman kept shaking her finger at the tantrum thrower & kept calling her, "Bad! Bad! Bad!" like she was a dog or something.
Normally, d-a folks make me uneasy, but these two old ladies were a fucking riot. I had to fight so hard to not just bust up laughing when that one just spit her dentures out. I was like, "Damn, her aim's good. She's had practice, huh?" The other care-taker was just trying to keep the guy from wandering off - he'd had enough of the shenanigans. The caretakers were embarrassed, but I just told 'em they should see some of the drunks we got sometimes.
It kind of made my day.
