I work at a small company and we employ a wonderful woman, we'll name her Juanita (because I don't know a Juanita, so it's fun), and she has Down Syndrome. What I love about her is that she is always happy. No matter what she is doing, she is smiling and saying hello to everyone!
She comes to work everyday and helps clean our kitchen area and then proceeds to get our trash in the office area, among other duties most others would groan about.
This morning she spoke with a colleague across the hall and said, "Oh, you have an iPad!" The colleague corrected her and said it was an iPhone. Juanita proceeded to say, "Oh, same thing!" She finished this with a large belly laugh and I couldn't help but smile and giggle myself.
First of all, she's right! Same thing. And second, when you say something funny, even if you're the only one who thinks it's funny, the correct thing to do is commit to the situation with a belly laugh. Enjoy life. Be happy!
Thanks, Juanita for the wonderful lesson!
