How often we disabled here this line from kids on a daily basis is mind blowing. Somehow all the kids in the world are born with the same question asking genes and they all hit this one right on the dot. But I think its funny and find various ways to answer it. My all time favorite response to this question is “I didn’t eat my vegetables.” What is your favorite response to this question?

What’s wrong with me? Well what’s wrong with YOU?! – That is a good one.
They may not know how to word it properly but kids are smart. Many are anyway. Give them a good response, tell them why your legs don’t work, without getting into the medical terminology of course. I mean I have spina bifida and I am not going to tell them it may have been because my parents lacked folic acid in their diets, therefore my spine did not fuse properly, leaving an exposed sac full of spinal fluid. But you know, tell them that your legs don’t work but its not “wrong”. It just doesnt work. Then show them what you CAN do with your arms, without resorting to doing wheelchair “tricks” of course.
I tell them my mom did crack while she was pregnant with me but thats a little evil but their face is priceless
kids are smart, my nephews asked all the questions and then they were fine but the first time they saw me spasm they put their fingers up and said ohhh your fakin. then u have to tell them more than my legs were broke in a car accident that i wasnt wearin my seat belt in. one thing i noticed is any kid you tell the seat belt thing to always wear their belts from that point on without being told.
i tend to have more adults ask me than kids. whenever kids ask i’m usually pretty honest. i think if kids ask it’s good for them to learn, but i tend to have fun with the adults. i like telling people it was a horrible statue accident and watch as they try to picture it.
