my son's elementary school employs about 12 fifth graders wearing bright orange to direct traffic through the drop off zone, open and close car doors and direct the younger students.
one of the orange kids directed me to pull forward, and stop. he then opened the door, helping to unload sons one and two. upon completing his duties, he told me to have a good day. he then peered around the interior of the car for an extended moment. his head sort of swayed in a stevie wonder / ray charles sort of way. his eyes didn't focus on anything in particular and seemed distant. he then closed the door and we pulled away from the curb.
the wife - "was he blind?"
mr. sarcasm (me) - "yes honey, the school is now using blind children to direct traffic and aid the sighted students across busy streets and in and out of cars"
rock on, stevie.
