A 14-year-old male I know has an older sister who is physically and mentally challenged. She can't live on her own, and never will have a normal life. The brother has this tendency to mimic her behavior, and that of retarded people in general. I'm sure he's not making fun of his sister; he just thinks it's funny the way they talk. I think it's part of a normal humor development for younger males, to find humor in things, then realize why they may not be so funny. Kind of like most things at that age, 'defining boundaries' could sum up my argument, at least as far as adolescents making fun of disabled people goes.
