I wish I knew more of his story. There was, as I said, something almost elfish about him. He seemed like a happy person. But I'm sure his personal situation couldn't be easy.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590153368194137758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-78010824785887067082014-01-23T14:25:19.805-05:002014-01-23T14:25:19.805-05:00What also strikes me about the encounter was the v...What also strikes me about the encounter was the vulnerability of the elderly gentleman. I love your perspective on it. But I also wonder at how easy it would be, as he's making his way home, for someone to accost him and take his caramel creams from him.<br />Beautiful blog, vulnerable situation.Sarah Tunhttp://sarahtunexaminelife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761080938810306228.post-30062209249380166932014-01-23T07:38:54.780-05:002014-01-23T07:38:54.780-05:00Wow!

But sometimes unabashed rudeness can leave a person speechless for a moment! :-(<br /><br />I watched a video recently in which an actor with Down Syndrome worked with other actors to set up a scenario at a grocery store. The young man with Down Syndrome played the part of a bagger and the other actors took turns acting out the part of a rude customer who verbally abused the bagger. It was very interesting to see how the other customers responded. I'll see if I can find it and give you the link.

If that ...I can just see it all happening, Jeannie. If that woman had told me the guy didn't have a clue, I don't think I could have restrained my self from telling her that she was the one who's clueless.
