There used to be a joke my siblings would use to get me upset. "What does Elmer Fudd say When he sees Randy Walking down the Street? There goes Wandy the Wubberhead wunning awong"
Not knowing it then,that was there way to toughen me up. I learned early I was different from everybody else. but instead of using it a negative. i used my situation as a positive. If i knew people were standoffish I'm always cracking jokes that hopefully eases peoples mind then there ok with asking questions. You can ask people that are in my life that it's not even anything they think about anymore. Yes I have minimal use to the left side of my body, but I've never considered myself to having a handicap. There are some cases where I have more use in my 1 arm then you do with 2. I have a job, I've worked on the farm, throwing bails, cleaning pens. I've been a custodian for 9 years. I've also worked in Radio, I've never been one to let my capability's let me down.
I'm always trying to get people to laugh or think What just happened. When i was living in North Bay, I would go to the local Fast Food restaurants and put in an order with my left Hand. I would ask for 1 of those pointing in all directions. (with all my fingers) I would usually try to have someone i know behind me in line, most times they wouldn't know it was coming and would not be impressed. I would always wait for the cashier to ask the person behind if they knew which combo I was looking for. Then my favourite the look on the person's face that I had come to the restaurant with. a lot of the times I would be walking home but I would always enjoy the Free Apple Pie that was given to me. I wonder why no one will go to fast Food restaurants with me anymore?
