Recently I have had people asking me if my daughter is retarded. The answer is a definite NO. The comments are based on the fact that my daughter allegedly has a big head and sits with her tongue sticking out, usually blowing raspberries. Personally I find it rude and really offensive to use this term to define anyone and with regards to my daughter it makes me rather angry, she has had all the routine tests done and is a perfectly happy little girl.
People are either stupid or ignorant if they think that sticking your tongue out or having a big head automatically makes you retarded. I think it is one thing children making unkind comments but adults should know better and it’s quite sad if an adult deems it necessary to make these kind of comments about an 11 month old baby, possibly to make themselves feel better.
