We had a giggle at camp last weekend and I keep forgetting to write about it! So here you have the story!
Brady and I joined the throngs of people watching the kids’ demonstrations before gathering them from their week at camp. It required us going a bit of a distance, so we took the golf cart for Brady’s benefit. We chatted with other kids and other parents while we waiting through a couple of demonstrations that weren’t Dekkers. It was outside and nice and social and relaxed.
At one point, an older man approached Brady and exclaimed “What happened?!” Brady hasn’t had that question in a while! And so out of the blue! Bradys mobility is so normal for us now, we forget that it is kind of rarity.
So Brady really casually responded that he had a cancerous tumour taken off of his spinal cord.
The man just stared for a second, and without speaking, pointed at Brady’s leg brace. Brady’s use of the golf cart to get around wasn’t what was in question, but the brace! Brady, surprised, responded, “Oh! I’m paralyzed!”
The man definitely had nothing to say 😅 I reached over and gave Brady a fist bump before walking away.
It was SO funny.
The poor guy was probably anticipating a story about a soccer injury or something, haha!
Anyway. We giggled. It was hilarious. And I’m sure it will continue to be hilarious every time it happens.
