I remember working with a woman who said she caouldn't read or write, so I asked her just to do what she could with a paper and pencil. (I was a jerk.) She started to write "My dear sister," then stopped and started crying. Turned out her parents had been too poor to keep the children, so they had gone to foster homes, and she had lost track of her sister. She decided she didn't want to learn to read and write after all. Andrea
