Think before you act or speak!

It happens all the time, people assume I’m stupid or incapable because I do stuff with my mom. And even yet this happens when I am alone. I am treated like a child and called dear.

It may just be because they don’t know. And that is considerable because most disabled individuals are rarely seen outside especially in my city. Ok so I am not normal and I am not complaining. I could be off and living in a nursing home but guess what? I am not and deal with it.

I am tempted to tell whoever says dear or treats me like a child a little fib, like

My husband was going to come with me but he wanted to work on the deck (I am not married)

I am being deployed so I am wanting to spend time with family (I’ve been out of the military since 2009)
