(Mm, so I don't forget. )
I want to write something just to use the phrase "bruises under her eyes."
And then - this is older - a random conversation (monologue, now) about blind kids and Braille.
"Hey, I was thinking. So y'know, blind kids that learn Braille - well, they always have to use their fingers. I mean, we can read things across the room or a sign down the read, but their whole 'sight' is just restricted to how long their arm is. They could do some cool things, though, that we can't - like, in class, for a test, if they stick something with Braille on the underside of the desk they just have to reach under and feel it to cheat. Or they could have it in their pocket! I guess to keep them from cheating, you'd have to make them keep whatever hand isn't writing palm-up on the desk.
"...Hey, you know what the saddest thing of all is? A blind kid with no hands."
