[blparent] A compliment, I think

[Veronica Smith]

Way back when, my husband's grandmother owned a cattle ranch and my husband
took me out to the field and let me drive.  Of course there wasn't anything
to hit except air and dirt.  Gab has heard these stories and knows I can,
but not in the city.
My motto is I can do anything a sighted person can do except drive safely on
a city street.  Heck, most sighted people can't do that either. Smile! V

I love it! It is a running joke at my house about me driving, but Evelyn
caught on very young that it would be bad if I drove. She did once say you
could get a very big cane and then the cars would move out of the way like
the people do, and that made me laugh for sure. Now she is mad that mommy
drives because she wants to ride in the yellow car or the bus all the time.

My now-adult daughter recently told me that when she was little she thought
I could do anything.  I pointed out that she always knew I couldn't drive a
car.  She said, "Well, I knew you couldn't, but I guess I thought you could
if you really had to."
