[blparent] Lockdown Drill at School

[Jodie and Kahlan]

I kind of agree with Gabe in that I don't really care what they think 
of us, but I don't want them to think kahlan is a pair of eyes or that 
she's supposed to be doing an important job of taking care of her blind 
parents. If anyone pulls that "you take such good care of your 
mommy/daddy" bit, I will be annoyed and probably not be able to hide 
it. Either that or I'll deal with it instinctively in my own way and 
then be annoyed later. Either way, no one is going to be allowed to 
continue to think the child is taking care of the parents. That's 
unacceptable to me. I'm not saying any of you do that; I'm just peaved 
that sighted people assume (a s s you and me) that even small children 
have to take care of their parents because they're blind. it would be 
different if I were an old woman and my daughter was like my age, but 
definitely not now!
