[BlindTlk] Type

[Ericka]

I don’t see what the logic they had was. What does knitting have to do with bedwetting? What are you supposed to do make your own soakers? Rags to wipe your mess up? You would’ve been better off doing typing but then maybe that place was so out of touch with what kids needed as far as encouragement and stuff it was a good thing you were put in the public schools.
