I have not had this problem today.
I do have this problem often.
I don't think of the word disability as derogatory but descriptive.
This is one of the things that it describes.
So very weird you post this today. Yesterday our water was cut off (for 2 days) while they dig up the road to fix something. Tomorrow - 7 showers.
Hey kid, this post is about people with disabilities and touches on how something seemingly simple to somebody like you and me can actually be very difficult. A while back I had a family of 3 sitting at my bar: mom, dad and their daughter who happened to have Down Syndrome. I told them what city I was originally from and they asked me if I found it was accessible for somebody like their daughter or if the people were accepting/kind. I responded I wanted to say yes but I could really never know and that there’s probably so many small things I don’t even think about that make her life more difficult. I had a great conversation and got a very nice tip, but I also realized I likely wouldn’t have responded that way years prior as my first instinct really was to say yes. Life isn’t just about trying to be the funny guy, sometimes it’s cool to have a little compassion and expand your horizons.
