           I guess when it's your normal, it's hard to believe that it's another persons unorthodoxy. What's even more hard to believe is how your normal is my anomaly. I mean, how do you do it? See, I mean. What's it like? How does it feel to have the pribledge of staring up into a starry night sky, or even at your loved ones faces? How do you concentrate when there's oh so much to look at? 

          These are the types of questions I have as a teenager with a severe visual impairment; but, I'm sure you'd be even more curious to know the types of things people have said to me! So, that's exactly what I've come here to do. Here's a list of all the things I've either been told or asked. Not all of these relate to my blindness, but I've decided to add them regardless. I hope that's alright. Hopefully, they can either stun you, or make you laugh. XD

- How do you take a shower? 

- Do you pick out your own clothes?  

- You only get good grades, because the teachers feel bad for you, which is why they give you A's.

- You're too nice. It's really annoying. 

- You can always just use the blind card to get out of trouble.

- You're not allowed to go down the slide. You're the weird, blind girl. 

- You walk like a drunk sailor.

- What do you use that stick for? 

- Why are you so scared? It's just a surgery! I had surgery on my mouth, once.

- How are you online? 

- You're too skinny, and guys don't like that about girls; so, it'll probably be hard for you to find someone. 

- Don't you read... Graille, or whatever?

- Aww. I feel so bad for you. I mean, you're blind.

- How can you see that?!

- Oh, that explains why it takes you so long to text back!

- Oh, okay. I knew something was off about you!

- You need to cuss more!

- How do you watch TV? 

- How do you eat? 

- Aww. Little blind bab.

- You walked all the way up here by yourself?! That's impressive!

- You can't see that?

- It's over there.

- Well, duh! You can't read! 

- Blind people are so stupid! I mean, they can't even open lockers. 

- What's a corneal transplant? 

- Why is one eye bigger than the other?

- Why is one eye closed? Open it!

- Woah!! Is it just the light, or what's wrong with your eye????

- Who brushes your hair? 

- Oh, well I'm sure you can get surgery or something to help.

- Wait! Now, I'm wondering, how do you eat?

- You're quite pretty for someone who's blind.

- You won't make it in college.

- Do you really need a Guide Dog, it seems like you get around just fine.

          What'd you think? Any of them hard to believe?! A lot of these, I don't blame people for asking me. (: Well, i wanna sincerely thank you all for giving my book a chance.
