[blindkid] Identify yourself please

[Carol Castellano]

This reminds me of how enriched the "other" senses of our sighted 
kids can be.  Once when my kids were little, we were riding in the 
car and a HUGE 18-wheeler suddenly appeared  on our left.  My son was 
staring at it and exclaimed, "Mommy, did you HEAR that?"
