Growing up in the southern US, we would sometimes pass tobacco fields which had rows of leaf drying houses in them. There were no windows in those houses and my dad told us kids that blind people lived in those houses.
Every time we would pass them I would look to see if I could spot a blind person outside, and I thought that when I got older I would go and get them and tell them they were living in houses that had no windows and that wasn't fair.
