I guess I would have said, "are you volunteering to come with me everytime I
want to take my daughter swimming?" V

Sarah's father can see, and we've had one round with Social Services
already. Then the other day, someone I know saw me carrying a baby
flotation device into my house from the trunk of the car. It's an inner
tube with a seat built in for the baby's legs. Anyway, the person said that
of course, I would only take the baby in the pool if there was a sighted
person to watch. There's a pool for the condos where I live. I said not
necessarily, because if I were right there, with my hands on the baby the
whole time, I would be satisfied with that. She said she would call Social
Services if she ever saw me taking the baby in the pool by myself--which
means, I guess, that I'll only go when there's a sighted person to watch. I
don't want those people knocking at my door again.
