So check this out. Right before - I mean we're setting up to shoot, right?
Guckt euch das an. Wir bereiten uns auf den Dreh vor
And we get this great question on Twitter. We love it,
Und wir haben diese großartige Frage auf Twitter erhalten.
so we figured we'd answer it right here.
also haben wir uns dazu entschlossen sie jetzt gleich zu beantworten
Evan @akindoflying wants to know how my folks told me I was blind.
Evan @akindoflying fragt wie meine Bekannten mir sagten dass ich blind bin.
See, I was born blind, so it's sort of all I've ever known.
Passt auf, ich wurde blind geboren , also ist das alles was ich bisher kannte.
I don't know if there was a particular date when they sat me down and went,
Ich weiss nicht ob es einen bestimmten Tag gab wo sie es mir erzählten, nach dem Motto:
Uh, listen, kid, we have bad news for ya.
"Hör mir zu mein Sohn, wir haben schlechte Neuigkeiten.
You're not like your sisters. You can't see.
du bist nicht wie deine Schwestern. Du kannst nicht sehen.
What does that mean?
Was soll das heißen
I don't know if there was a moment where I realized that other people could see, and that I couldn't.
Ich weiss nicht ob es einen Zeitpunkt gab wo ich bemerkte dass Andere sehen konnten, aber ich nicht.
I mean, just because everybody around me could, right?
Ich meine, nur weil Jeder um mich herum sehen konnte, oder?
It's all I've ever known.
Das ist alles was ich je kannte
Like, I'd never met anybody who couldn't see, for a long time.
also, Ich habe nie jemanden getroffen der auch blind war.
I think the voice inside my head was saying, you know what, it's okay.
Ich glaube mein Kopf sagte mir einfach: "weißt du was?, es ist OK"
I mean, everybody else can see -
Ich meine, jeder andere kann sehen -
It just was the way life was.
es war einfach die Art wie das Leben war.
And is.
Und ist.
'Cause it's our own normal, right?
Weil es ist unser eigenes "Normal", versteht ihr?
I mean, every thing you do, like your life,
Ich meine alles, was du so machst, in deinem Leben,
is completely normal to you.
ist total normal aus deiner Sicht.
No matter what you experienced when you were growing up.
Ganz egal was dir im Laufe des Lebens widerfahren ist.
But that was your thing.
Es war dein Ding
And you look at other people's lives and go, "Wow, how'd you put up with that?"
Und du denkst an andere Menschen und denkst dir,"Wow, wie bist du damit zurecht gekommen?"
Or "How'd you make it through that?"
oder "Wie hast du das alles durchlebt?"
Or "Boy, isn't cool you had all this growing up",
oder "Mensch, das ist nicht cool dass du das alles in deiner Kindheit hattest"
or you didn't have anything growing up.
oder du hattest garnichts beim Aufwachsen.
But that was your normal.
Aber es war dein "Normal".
So, this was my normal. I just, you know, I couldn't see.
Und das war mein "Normal". Ich konnte einfach nichts sehen.
I wish I had some comedy here for this, but it was a very serious question.
Ich wünschte ich hätte Witze für das Thema, aber es war eine sehr ernste Frage.
And let's talk about you? What do you mean by "akindoflying"?
Jetzt lass uns über dich reden. Was meinst du mit "akindoflying"?
What is this? Huh?
was ist das? Hm?
What are you, a politician?
Was bist du, ein Politiker?

I don't think there was like a seminal moment where I went,
Ich denke es gab keinen ertragreichen Moment in meinem Leben.
I can't see.
Ich kann nicht Sehen.
I should make one up.
Soll ich mir Einen ausdenken?
Wait a minute - I'm blind?
warte kurz... - Ich bin blind?
Goddammit Mom and Dad, why didn't you tell me?
Gottverdammt Mom und Dad, warum habt ihrs mir nicht gesagt?
