Upside #2

Serious moments can bring laughter!

While playing with my two sons who were eight and ten at the time, my oldest son who has down syndrome looks at his brother and shouts “stop it Tinkerbelle!”  Just like any other family, my youngest was completely insulted and we had to have a serious conversation about the moral issue of name calling.  Unlike other families, I stepped out of the room and seriously gut laughed for a few minutes.  Later, after sharing this story with my husband we marveled at how clever his insult was!
