[blparent] teaching braille

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

My mom learned braille, and my brother picked it up just for something to 
do.  He can still read a bit of uncontracted stuff here and there--enough to 
spot mistakes when they happen on elevators or restrooms--but the biggest 
thing he ever did with braille was to cheat at cards!  I didn't realize it 
till much later, but he and my mom always won card games because they could 
see what I, and others, were holding by looking at the indentations on the 
backs of the cards.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
