About me having Down syndrome.
(interviewer) The other thing that's happening right now
is the controversy about what they call the R word.
Oh, yeah. I know I'm sure what that means.
(interviewer) So what is your thought about...?
- Like as retarded? The R word? - (interviewer) Mm-hmm.
I don't really like it at all.
It really affected me in many ways
because I've been teased a lot.
I've been teased with that
from elementary school, high school,
and I didn't like it.
I was going to stand up for myself,
but I did not have the courage.
And I said something about,
"Leave me alone or my sister will come after you!"
(interviewer laughs)
(laughs)
She sure did! They got me!
