The controversy over the term “Special Needs” has comes up fairly often.  Personally, I don’t like the term when referring to a person who has a disability. It’s patronizing and euphemistic in my opinion. Further, what does it really mean?

OK, so the macaroni and cheese as vegetable story was in my last post, but I still think it’s funny and endearing and altogether unusual. I personally think the restaurant was so busy that they ran out of peas and carrots and maybe broccoli and had to substitute it with a side. Yep, that makes sense to me. Did I ever tell you that I was once in the restaurant business myself?
