sometimes i worry that i'm actually retarded but no one has the heart to tell me.when i was in grade school there was a mentally retarded girl that i always stood up for. people picked on her a lot and i always felt super bad. once i ran into her in the hallway - she got her period for the first time in class and the teacher sent her alone to the office. it always made me feel bad that no one even walked her down to the nurse...there she was in the hallway alone with a giant bloodstain on her jeans. i'll never forget it.
anyway, one time i was standing in a group of people who were sort of interrogating her the way that only mobs of schoolchildren can, and someone asked her if she knew she was retarded. she leaned in really close to the half circle of interrogators and said in a loud whisper "Yes, but SHH, i don't want anyone to know."
good lord did my heart break at that moment.
