Ouch Top Ten
Ten things not to say to a parent in front of their disabled child
Ever wondered just what not to say to a parent in front of their disabled child? Well, now you don't have to - here's the top ten, as sent in to us by Ouch reader Sandra Robertson, mum of Helen.
 | "What’s wrong with her then?" (SHE HATES STUPID PEOPLE) |
 | "How long will she live?" (LONGER THAN YOUR FAT ASS) |
 | "It’s such a shame – and she’s so pretty too " (UNLIKE YOU, YOU MEAN) |
 | "Does she eat anything?" (OBVIOUSLY NOT AS MUCH AS YOU) |
 | "Aaah!" (SOD OFF) |
 | "She knows who you are then?" (THE PERSON WHO FENDS OFF STUPID PEOPLE) |
 | "Look! she’s smiling." (LOOK! YOU'RE FARTING) |
 | "Your older children must be such a comfort to you." (BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT) |
 | "You won't be having any more." (NO, YOU ARE DEFINITELY THE POSTER CHILD FOR EUGENICS) |
 | "You are great to keep her at home." (AS OPPOSED TO IN A ZOO) |
