Seriously, I do politely ask them not to pat me on the head. >> ...LOL....yeah...taking out the knees-caps is an option I hadn't thought of...I'm around 5' 2" and the pats on the head happen to me alot...but then that may be because I am Deaf and "need to be taken care of"...my sister firmly believed that I needed to attend college ...not to become independent but to find a "husband...or someone who could take care of me"...perople assume that I can not drive a car or cross a street by myself...I'll be 50 years old in January...i've raised a family and now am working on a PhD..yeah...taking out the knee-caps might just be an option....Kathryn <---usually doesn't resort to violence %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
