Sometimes I am Bothered

The only time I correct someone in my presence is when he/she uses the word fit to describe a seizure. I realize fit is the original word for describing a seizure. I always tell people I got one butt whippin' for a fit and never got a whippin' for a seizure. That is the reason I correct people, but in others view I am wrong. That doesn't bother me. What bothers me is when comedians or movies make jokes about epileptic seizures and people go after them. The first people I think of is the epilepsy foundation of america. People speak of being offended. I realize some may go to far, that's the comedians, writers, or directors who are corny 90% of the time and are not worth paying attention to. We Es are able to laugh at other issues comedians or movies joke about so why can't we laugh at our own condition? I have joked about my epilepsy and brain surgeries. I never will forget when I had my first sugery. Since the surgery was on my left temporal lobe I would tilt my head to the right and tell people the right side of my head is heavier than the left. You don't know how me people actually believed what I told them and turned red after I would say, "Gotcha." We Es can't let people use our condition to take away freedom of speech.
