When I tell him I see something, he says, "Aha, so you can see." It's all in good fun so I don't mined.<br /><br />A couple of years ago when I was visiting his family in Florida, his oldest son was having trouble with his schoolwork. He was twelve at the time, and nobody could figure out what was going on. My sister-in-law said that in the past, he'd had trouble concentrating and had received professional help. I wondered if he was having trouble with his eyesight and didn't want to say anything for fear his father would tease him like he was teasing his aunt. I confided my suspicion to my brother and suggested he watch his son when he studied to see if he squinted or held printed material close to his face. He said he would do that. Apparently, the boy's eyesight wasn't the problem, though.Abbie Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251937445976896173noreply@blogger.com
