in particular if they call you by another "blind person" or
"handicapped person's" name. :)
A friend of ours was commenting on that just this last Sunday
afternoon, how someone called her "joy" instead of her name. In fact,
this is a very gregarious and obviously "herself" type person, not
someone innocuous.
I read "ball four," by Jim Bouton, and during spring training one
year, while he was on the mound, a coach yelled at him, "chuck it in
here, Bob," and he was not happy at all. It happens, in the
"sighted" world when there are a lot of participants, but it seems to
me that we get categorized as "them, or "they," more often don't you
all think? :)
and, of course, we've all heard of the "who cans," as in "do you have
someone "who can," help you?"
Karen and I always are looking for those "who kins," hoping that the
Klan of who kins can come see us sometimes, in particular, it seems
when all else is lost. :)
Maybe we could spread those who kins around amongst all of us. :)
These days, they call it "networking." :)
