Down Syndrome Days

Let’s look on the light side . . .

What is the funniest thing you can think of that you somehow ended up in the middle of with your Down syndrome loved one?

For example – -  We, my 3 children and a couple of their friends, were just finishing checking out at Target one day when my son (age 3) threw up — all over everything:  the cart, the floor, and some even went into my mouth!  I wish you could see what we saw in the look on the face of that checker!!  We were mortified, reminded the checker to have the cart cleaned, and slunk our way out of the store.  Once safely in the car and sensing the children’s abject humiliation, I said the only thing I could think of: “Well, we can either laugh or cry.”  And we just all busted up laughing.  We laughed all the way home till we were nearly sick and laughter tears just streamed down everyone’s faces. 

Indelible is the look on that man’s face . . .

I know if we talked about it today we would all still laugh till we hurt!
