1 No matter. Mama told me I was leaving, so I was leaving. End of discussion. I had a couple of months to get used to that idea, and during this last period at home I was treated the same as a normal child. Fact is, I was made to do the same chores I had done when I could see. 2 Mama was a country woman with a whole lot of common sense. She understood what most of our neighbors didnât - that I shouldnât grow dependent on anyone except myself. âOne of these days I ainât gonna be here,â she kept hammering inside my head. Meanwhile, she had me scrub floors, chop wood, wash clothes, and play outside like all the other kids. She made sure I could wash and dress myself. And her discipline didnât stop just âcause I was blind. She wasnât about to let me get away with any foolishness.
