A Different Perspective

I have a friend who is legally blind. She in turn has a friend who is completely blind. The lot of us were gathered at her house for games on Sunday, when they started to talk about plans to see Prince Caspian when it opens in a couple weeks. Typical stuff, mostly... do you want to try to go opening night? Do you want to do a midnight show? Let's buy the tickets online. And then we'll have to show up early to wait in the line, of course.

"What for?" asks my friend's friend. "We're buying tickets ahead of time."

My friend's husband pipes right in. "Well, so we don't get stuck sitting..." (a smile dawns on his face, but he finishes the thought unflustered) "...too close to the screen."

"Ah, you Sighties."
