[nagdu] Bi Bis comment

[Julie J.]

I had a kid in the grocery store do something similar last week.  He was 
wound up about the dog in the store.  His parents gave him the skinny on 
that bit.  Then he decided I wasn't really blind.  He comes up and looks 
at me and confirms his earlier decision.  So it's official, I'm no 
longer blind.   I was amused by the whole episode, but had it been an 
adult I think I would have found it exceptionally rude.

>> The other day I was going home from work and asked why is that dog wearing that thing . I said that is called a harness and it helps the dog guide me. why? because I can't see where I am going. Your blind? yes . You don't look it and the dog doesn't look like a blind dog. I said the dog is sighted . If she were blind we would really have a problem. Now she puts her hand in front of my face . I didn't move so she said I guess you really are blind.
