[nabs-l] Humor and Blindness Revelations

Fri Mar 6 05:39:49 UTC 2009

And that's a perfect example of when it does work. Yes... A sighted friend 
and I did joke once or twice.  I said "It was nice seeing you the other 
day," and his response was, "You did not actually see me." We both got a 
good laugh out of that one. Funny how we don't think about the literal 
meanings of some of the sayings that we use.  Have you ever been looking for 
something, and the person who is trying to help you asks what color it is, 
then realizes that you cannot provide that information?  Also usually worth 
a laugh.

I definitely think humor is an effective tool; great point, Arielle!
Sometimes when I bump into people, they'll say something like, "Oops, I'm
sorry...I didn't see you there." My response to that is usually, "Oh, I
didn't see you either!" I feel that breaks the ice so to speak, and makes
them laugh and feel okay about my blindness. If I think of anything else,
I'll let you all know.
