In junior high, I went to an academic charter school. It was the only one in the area, but we didn't have many kids. You'd think they'd be smart, but a lot really lacked common sense. My dad would take me to and from school because we didn't have a bus program. He wore sunglasses all the time because he was taking a medication that made him extremely sensitive to light. He would even wear them indoors. Well, a few kids approached me before school after a few months on watching my dad drop me off and pick me up. They asked me how my dad managed to drive if he was blind. I decided to play along.
Them: "How does your dad know where to go?"
Me: "Oh, each road has it's own bump pattern. He reads it like braille basically. The bumps tell him what road he's on."
Them: "But how does he not crash into people?"
Me: "He has to listen carefully. He usually doesn't drive without a 'copilot' because of how many close calls he's had. Sometimes you need to remind him of when to brake."
They took me quite seriously. Later on in class we brought up blind people. They told the teacher that it was possible for blind people to drive by following the bumps in the road. He looked at them like they had a few extra chromosomes. They swore by it and asked me to help back it up. I called them all idiots and that's how I became known as a the biggest liar at school.
