Too bad your son didn't notice that dash separating SLOW from the rest of the warning. He came along when "slow learner" was the pc term. Before that it was "retarded" and before that moron, imbecile, idiot. then it evolved to (mildly, moderately,severely) mentally impaired. My son who was LD,and ADHD is now 40 . I don't know what the euphemisms are now. Well written.

This piece made me laugh! Great short story. I really enjoyed it. I love remembering things that my son said when he was a kid. This made for a good story.

Hi Bill. It was just a matter of time before someone would play with that sign that has been around since God invented people. Of course your son would not know the intention of the sign or what he really got from the sign, but it is sort tof funny, right? Blessings Bill. Bob

This is a cute story, and a good entry for the True Story Flash contest. It's always interesting to see how kids interpret things in unexpected, yet humorous, ways. Best wishes in the contest.

LOL. I love this contest entry. It's always interesting how children perceive things. As a first grade teacher, I often get a smile at their comments. Thank you for sharing this with us and good luck.
