Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -His parents have an internal conflict. George Bergeron is too intelligent, which then is force to wear handicaps. Hazel has no handicaps because she isn’t that bright. They both forgot about Harrison’s death.

Detailed explanation-2: -Why isn’t Hazel handicapped? George is handicapped because his intelligence is way above normal, and he should be above or below. Hazel isn’t because she has a “perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts". How does George seem to feel about his handicaps?

Detailed explanation-3: -Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike her husband and son, Hazel is described as having “perfectly average” strength and intelligence (she is unable to “think about anything except in short bursts”), so she is not subjected to any mental or physical handicaps.
