I had a short-lived visual impairment. I had a very heavy type-writer like device with 8 keys, one for each of the 6 dots in Braille (you hit the ones needed at the same time), a space bar, and the return. I also had a device that clicked over heavy full-sized paper and you use an awl-like device (smaller) to hit each of the dots. Backwards (right to left, the letters formed backwards and letters going the opposite way than you read so that when the paper was turned over it was correct). Lots of work for someone who needed it for a year, especially since letters and numbers use the same 6 dots differently and I was taking algebra)

If it were the real kind of study, how is Peter going to peer over Denise’s braille textbooks and notes?

Now THIS is when Andy’s look makes sense! It makes her seem like a parent and not overprotective fool.

Teenagers always forget that their parents were teenagers once and knows all too well what some of them get up to these days.

As I told my son: there are things you haven’t even thought of yet, that I’m ready to catch you on.

I remember practicing in the dark with my girlfriend years ago. I had no idea those “bumps” were actually Braille…

I LOVE the look on Andy’s face in the third panel! ROFLMAO!
