When I was in primary school a blind man came in to give talk to us and I somehow got the idea that he'd gone blind through falling asleep in front of the TV. For years afterwards I was terrified of even closing my eyes in front the television for fear of going blind!
A childhood belief about tv
others believed things like this
- i used to think that if you were blind you had to have your eyes closed. Anon
- I used to think that if you closed your eyes, you convince others that you were blind.— katie B
- I used to believe that you were only classed as blind if you had your eyes closed.Anon
- I used to think that blind people always had their eyes closed.Anon
- When i was younger i used to believe people blind had no eyes.— Kenza
- When i was little my mum convinced me that if a cat spat in my eyes i would go permanently blind. — Louise Atkinson
