Every child is special!

Boy, they said it over and over... as if to convince themselves.
Every child is special...
Every child is clearly not special.

But let's say it's true... let's grant this- I'm in a generous mood; let's say it's true, as if somehow every child is special.

What about every adult? Isn't every adult special, too? And if not... then at what age do you go from being 'special' to being... 'not so special'? And if every adult is special that means we're all special and the whole idea loses all its' fucking meaning!
