FOUND IT!

No, the correct answer seems to be "in the last place I looked" :P (And you know what? I'm sure it was also the first place I looked after "my pockets, again", but I didn't see it there!)

Thanks for playing, everybody! You're the BEST.

So, I have a new-to-me copy of Euphonia and the Flood

I LOVED this book as a kid, and I couldn't for the life of me remember the name, so I finally asked on what_was_that_book and they told me. And I ordered a new copy, and would you believe it came with two pages ripped clear out? When I order used picture books I'm fairly tolerant of mild scribbling or tears - I'd rather see a loved book than a pristine one anyway, and children can be hard on the things they love - but this was a bit much. So I got me my refund and sent off for aNOTHER new copy, and it came, and it's here - and it's from Agbu Armenian Elementary School and so it has what I presume to be Armenian on the inside of the cover! Awesome!

Which reminds me. A few days ago I bought some band-aids. I decided to splurge a little and really make the nieces happy, so I bought character band-aids - a box each Barbie, Disney Princess, and Dora. And as I picked up the boxes I went "That's weird, it has bumps - wait! BRAILLE!" (Each niece had the same reaction, except that I'm the one who shouted BRAILLE! for both of them, too.)

I don't have the boxes to hand, but what's weird is it doesn't seem to say "Band-aids" or any variation thereof. I just looked up the Braille alphabet, and it looks like the first letter (which I remember how it looks by virtue of it NOT looking like the six letters I know - a, b, c, d, r, and w) seems to be "m". (So now I guess I know seven letters?) What on earth does it say, though? I could just run up and get a box, but I'm a. lazy and b. slightly daunted at the idea of abbreviations anyway. (If nobody helps me, though, I'll do what I must.)
