A teacher at a school for blind kids is taking his
school's soccer team to an "away game." They stop for a rest break
and to let the kids work off some energy with a little impromptu practice in a
nearby pasture. The teacher is sitting in a nearby diner, explaining to another
patron how it is that blind kids can play soccer.
"We made a special ball with a bell in it, so the
kids can keep track of where the ball is and what it's doing by listening for
it. They're pretty good at it, too."
"Very clever!" remarks the other patron.
Just then they are interrupted as another patron, who is
looking out the window, says, "Hey! Are you the guy with those darn blind
kids from the bus?"
"Yes," says the teacher, stung by the way
"his" kids are being referred to. "What about it? You got
something against blind kids?"
"Nothing, ordinarily," says the guy, still
scowling out the window, "but you better get them rounded up quick!
They're kicking the heck out of my best milk cow!"
They were just trying to make a milk shake.
ReplyDeleteThat was bad. :-)
