I've a neice who turned 16 this summer. She has what the doc's have diagnosed as "mild CP" and a seizure disorder. Most likely she will never live alone or drive a car. She *knows* she is different from other teenagers. She's been in special classes all her life. She is also beautiful (as in model beautiful), feisty, boy-crazy and stubborn as hell.

She walked to my house last week (she can walk, just looks a little awkward) knocked on my door and burst out crying. She was having a fight with her mother (typical teen stuff). I sat down and talked with her about it. She howled, "Nobody knows what it's like to be ME!"

I thought, uh-oh. Here we go. I asked, "what do you mean,?"

She said, thru her tears, "Nobody knows what it's like to have two little brothers!!"

Perfect!
