Sammycalls

In this episode Jenna tells a joke that falls flat, Sam is now famous and wants a free tattoo… and so much more! We hope you love it! Sam Balegno has Down Syndrome, lives in Massachusetts and eats a lot of pizza. Jenna Balegno (his older sister) lives in California, has a dog named Norman and eats a lot of pizza. Listen in on their casual and candid phone calls to each other and get a little insight on what it means to have Down Syndrome… and more importantly… what it doesn’t mean. Welcome to the SammyCalls podcast! _________ After the first episode of SammyCalls I wrote about a pamphlet my parents had made when we were younger called "Just Like You" in the show notes. After reading, my dad sent a few copies of the pamphlet to me so I could see the real deal. I actually can't believe how vividly I remembered the details of it but it must have made an impression! I wanted to type out the contents here so you can see what my mom and dad were thinking, as fairly new parents of a child with Down Syndrome in 1992.
