Ugh. I totally believe in allowing all people to grow up before they become involved in a serious relationship. The story might sound romantic, but give this couple 10 to 15 years and their outlook will be entirely different.
I have a story on commention about your story, becuase like my story, yours is similar in context…and content, and it.
Author: “Although this story may be factually infactual there is a morality to be taught from this scenario!”
Claus was four years older than his older brother Clay. This made Clay very protective of Claus because he was retarded. Their parents were immigrated and therefore Clay was not much of an education equality opportunist. Claus hence force went to a school for normally persons whereas Clay did not go to such education systems.
Well…over the years Clay learned more and more about the retarded community and over time learned to accept Claus as for who he really is. Claus over these years found himself in the same schooling as Clay that was in.
This is where Clay met a friend. The friend was a boy around Clay’s age maybe younger. His parents named him Clayton because the friends of the parents called him Clay before he was named Clayton. This fact is irrelevant because it has nothing to do with Clay’s new friend…Damien. Damien, much like Claus was not a retarded challenged human. And that is why Claus and Damien were friends. Well Damien had a sister that really liked Clay. You could know that because you and me and Claus could all see the way that she looked at him when they were in the same place.
Well eventually the two started seeing each other more and more over the times. They were dating now and seeing more and more of each other over the time. The more that they saw of each other the more that they liked to see even more and more of each other over the time. All the time they were thought to see each other more. They get married
Well this is where Clay and Claus part ways, because Clyde died in a car accident. Clyde was what all of Clauses friends called Damien’s father. Who matter-of-factly broke the relationship between Clay and Damien’s sister. Because Clyde was having an affair…with Claus’s wife, Carolinda who just so happened to alternatively be Damien’s sister’s husband’s brother’s wife’s sister-in-law’s daughter. This disappointed both Claus and Clay. Who were flabbergasted, especially Claus, due to his retardation technique.
Three years later Clay was still retarded but happily married and that is the way Claus wanted it in the first place with it.
There is a moral to this story. Is that while the retardation may be socially insecure with todays politically substandard legislation, it is still legal for the retardation communatron (that is what “they” call “themselves”) to get legally matremonied. End.
