Happy Joe

1. Was born many years ago to a very average family. For the first year of his life, he seemed very average. He drank his milk and soaked his diapers. But in a few years it got obvious that the average Joe, from an average family had a problem. He couldn't keep up with the average growing up scheme the average government created for their average infants. Joe had problems with learning how to walk, so he crawled, he had problems with learning how to talk so he moaned, he had problems with learning how to eat, so he sucked, he had problems with learning how to think averagely, so he didn't. When the loving average parents couldn't keep up with Joe's needs, they were forced to put him into an average institution. They had to do exactly as all other average parents did in this situation. So poor Joe was put into an average ward and got an average treatment. Joe became an average subject in an average institution dealing with little less than averagely developed individuals. Joe's average parents still loved him and tried to visit him as often as their average jobs allowed them. So just before Christmas, they came on an average visit. They brought him a very average gift. An average mickey mouse watch with a mickey mouse printed on the background. Mickeys hands represented the clock hands. Joe's reaction to the gift was quite average. He moaned and started squeezing it in his hands. But then his average father fastened the average watch to his wrist. Joe took another, a bit disoriented look at the average clock face. There he saw an averagely cute mouse, that seemed to move and wave to him. He didn't know how or why, but every second that happened, it made him feel extremely happy. And by the time it happened again he forgot what happened almost a second ago and made him so happy. So every time the mouse moved and gave him a wave he was surprised and happy again.
2. For the first time in his life he smiled, allowing his average teeth to shine. And never again was he able to take his average eyes away from the average watch face with a mickey mouse clock hands. He looked at it when he was having his average institution meal, he watched it just before he went to sleep and watched it as the sun awoke him in the morning. And he watched it every second in between. Average nurses in the average institution soon made a very average conclusion. Joe smiled and laughed all the time. He always looked as the happiest man on earth. Joe was special.
