Situation & Exercise

This is a true story of Aslı Dinçman who suffers from cerebral palsy.
On Thursday, October 11, 2012; together with my mother, Suzan and Sezen, we went to a favorite meatball restaurant in a shopping center for lunch. A smiling young lady waiter, in her 20s, has started to work there. When we sat down at the table, she brought four services for us. But when she was putting a cutlery in front of me, she looked into my mother’s eye saying, ‘She is getting a service, isn’t she? My mother, as usual, said, ‘Asli can eat by forking. I will help those who she can’t get it.’
When the young lady went to fetch the menu booklets for us to choose what to eat from, I thought she would bring three booklets for sure and I wasn’t mistaken. She put one in front of the others. I came eye to eye with the young girl while my parents were looking at the list. ’May I have a list too? I said. I felt her watching me as I looked at the pages by turning them in my own unique movements. Even on a page I couldn’t turn, she came smiling and helped me. According to my mother, the three ladies at the next table were watching my eating in a state of ecstasy. After a while, when my mother looked at them with a smile, they turned their heads away instead of saying ‘Enjoy your food.‘ I was so busy with my food beatifically, I didn’t even realize them. While eating my dinner, I was disturbed by the fact that there were no Atatürk (The founder of Turkish Republic) photographs on the walls. Before leaving, I wished to convey it to the Management and told the female waiter about this important shortcoming. My mother converted it into understandable form for her from Spastic language. ‘Sure, I will relay.’ she replied.
