Curiosity never Killed Any Cats

I have always asked questions. I always felt that questions were far more instructive than the answers. I asked why things were spelled the way they were when I was a child, and I could not spell Puerto Rico and thought it was Porto Rico so should be spelled Peurto or something, because it did not seem right. I did not really know how to pronounce at whatever young age, perhaps ten years old. We never can learn because certain questions are off limits or tabu. Yet, children are naturally curious, and when they are told "Shh!" and shooed away from disabled children because they (we) look different, what message does that send about how "accessible" we are? Are we strange, different, aberrant, or abhorent? What's the matter with her eyes, legs, facial expressions, voice, or whatever? So, being curious is natural and a good thing!

Curiosity never Killed Any Cats

I have always asked questions. How would I understand the world if I did not do that? I could not know everything? From the switchboard when mom took me to the Jewish Guild for the Blind when I was about six, I wanted to touch and work with everything. I said I loved gadgets. Sometime afterwards, when I was reading the Arabian Knights, I think that was when I received my first Braille watch. I had seen someone with a watch with musical tones ether at the Lighthouse (New York Association of the Blind) or the Jewish Guild for the Blind, I wanted it. But now, I cannot wear a quartz watch. After a month ortwo, it stops working. Am I that powerful? It is something with polarities or my higher consciousness or electrical system that causes some interference. Hmm. Koraling Lynne
