Of course, people with disabilities can still exhibit a full range of human failings :) Personally, it's important to me to be role model, and you will eventually encounter an adult power chair user who feels that way.<br /><br />A note about Invacare wheelchairs- they are certainly crappy and low end, but the Invacare Torque SP is the only model funded at all where I live, so I have to admit that I resent your comment. That said, I've just started a blog about my attempt to raise funds for a Permobil chair. <br /><br />Anyway, I really like your blog, and appreciate your sense of humor :)<br /><br />DanielleDaniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688101519636946192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921193728051899847.post-64801155716494034872010-06-02T23:08:53.495-07:002010-06-02T23:08:53.495-07:00When this comes up with families I work with, I us...When this comes up with families I work with, I usually say, "when you have a child with special needs, strangers will come up to you and say the most stupid things". But in this case, your darlings were simply looking wonderful and people still came over to say stupid things! Fortunately, your generous children will forgive her and continue to be their friendly, positive selves. Now, whether we can let it go...that's a bigger challenge. You are right though, their eyes were on you and you did the best thing possible.

Some people are just really angry on the inside and take it out on everyone else.<br />2.) we are always at the mall - I think Greg even took the kids there on Monday. Let me know the next time you guys are there and we can meet up.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356394203287371302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921193728051899847.post-32330512996997078752010-06-01T10:23:32.910-07:002010-06-01T10:23:32.910-07:00Mean people suck.Mean people suck.Tonya Staabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356086307152528301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921193728051899847.post-28226078162760376242010-06-01T08:51:39.449-07:002010-06-01T08:51:39.449-07:00Yowzer!!!

We don't have a way to transport their powerchairs yet (and I don't think they're adept enough to safely navigate a shopping mall on a holiday weekend, anyway), so they weren't in them. I guess they weren't "obviously" one of the wheelchair population. That lady was still a bitch for talking to them like that, though.Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566185893649805343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921193728051899847.post-86141982164234021132010-06-01T04:15:15.378-07:002010-06-01T04:15:15.378-07:00What a perfect opportunity soured.

I'm stunned, as I can't imagine anyone's not wanting to chat up with your adorable kids... particularly TWINS in chairs that must draw $ufficient attention on their own.<br /><br />It's a sad set of circumstances when we can't think past ourselves.<br /><br />Sheesh.<br /><br />LucyLucy and Ethelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01034416537494911411noreply@blogger.com
