Lost

Today, I was at church and saw a blind teenager who obviously looked lost. Feeling like I should help, I went over and asked if he needed anything. He said, "I can't find my caretaker." I asked, "What does she look like?" FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

It's a normal question anyone would ask, without thinking. I'm sure it didn't upset him. Not a big deal.

Tee hee. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if he did know what his caretaker looked like. He may have known a brief description, for situations like this. Still funny though. :D

We're creatures who reconize things by sight. So a question of "What does he look like" is a natural response. So I don't think this is a fml. You certainly couldn't ask, "What he smell like" or "What he feels like?" Now could you? Because such questions cannot be shared.

Natural response to that question. I'm sure he didn't mind. Don't beat yourself up about it.

Don't worry. Someone should have told him what s/he looks like just in case. I know a blind kid.

I read that as, "I know, I'm a blind kid." I was resorting to witchcraft being possible.

Things like this are easy to say. I'm sure they were not worried.

My friend has been completely blind since birth. I was with her one day and we were supposed to be meeting a friend of hers who I hadn't met before. I told her I didn't know what her friend looked like and she proceeded to give me a good enough description that I was able to pick the friend out from a crowd. Guess she could probably describe me too, but I have no idea how. Most blind people are perfectly happy for you to use words like "look" and "see" and whatever around them. My friend often uses the phrase "have a look at something" when she actually means "feel something". Don't get hung up on phrases, really.
