Well, unless you really need them.
One day a few weeks ago, the special ed director said something that struck me as funny. She was talking about how sometimes, Maura’s daily schedule might change because of things like assemblies at school, and how Maura wouldn’t want to miss out on an assembly.
My retort was ”Really, I’m not sure Maura would realize she was missing out on anything. And it would depend on the assembly. Let’s face it, she doesn’t need to go to an assembly about saying “No!” to drugs. She DOES take drugs! We love how drugs affect her!”
Yes, another warped point of view from the weird world of the special needs parent. Yea Drugs!
