  About ten years ago my daughter and grandaughter, who was about 4 at the time, were shopping in the old Co-op. There was a lady in a wheelchair doing her shopping, and she had no legs. Being a friendly little soul my grandaughter went up to the lady and said "Hello, why haven't you got any legs?" My daughter was very embarrassed and tried to apologise to the lady, but the lady put her hand up and stopped her. With a big smile she explained to the little girl how she had had to have an operation to take her legs away because they were sick. Then she looked at my daughter and said "Oh how I wish more adults were like your little girl and would ask me instead of just staring or whispering". She wheeled herself away with a smile on her face and my grandaughter got a big tearful hug from her mum!
  I just thought this seemed relevant in this thread.
