As I write this, I'm listening to an aurgument (if you can call it that )
between an UNCG student and a Down Syndrome kid who's there for a special
class. Watching a student spend 40 minutes explain to a kid with down
syndrome that the shirt he (the student) is wearing is not the shirt that
the DS kid lost 6 months ago in another state was worth the watch. As the
Student explained to this Kid, the shirt was not the same size, its newer
than 6 months, and worn by a kid this DS boy has no degrees of separation
from, and he still believes the shirt was his! What's really made the
scene? The DS kid wanted the student to give him the very shirt back (
while he was wearing it).
Down syndrome is an interesting thing.
