All you gotta do is ask

Each day I give the students a starter. Today's starter was "Would you rather be deaf or blind?" Going around all the students said that they would rather be deaf. The reasons were different for each one but mostly because the students would still want to be able to see to read or watch TV or play video games. When it came J's turn, the eighth grade boy said "I'd rather be blind." Startled I asked why. He said, "So I can be a blind swordsman!"

I coulda guessed that...(not).
