Mental Retarded Joy

[Vandyyke]

   Today I'm at the grocery store, in line at the cash register,  and right behind me is a woman with her teenage mental retarded son. He's making growling noises, she tells him to, "stop it". He reluctantly obeys. 

  She comes up to the register and realizes she has left her coupons in the car. She tells her son, "Stay here and be good, I will be right back!" She hurries off leaving me and others a little concerned.

Well, apparently this boy knows everyone who works at the store and they know him! He starts going up to each cash register and joyously greeting each checker. "HI FIVE, HI FIVE!" Each time he gets a response he roars with joyous laughter! "YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" 


  I can't help but wish I was that happy at times!
