Today, i read in Newsweek about Brooke Greenberg. Brooke is very unique, she is 16 years old but has a body of an infant and a mind of a toddler. Scientist are very fascinated and are saying that her body is not growing as a whole unit. Brooke's loves to shop with her mother who pushes her around in the stroller. Brooke's mother says when she is asked the question of "how old is your daughter" she turns the years into months to avoid a long explanation. More research ois being done on Brooke and scientist hope to figure out whats going wrong with Brooke.
This is amazing, weird, and sad all at the same time. I could'nt imagine being Brookes parents and having to see my child not maturing as she get older.
