Blind Surprise

I asked my friend Mary what she wanted for her birthday.
“Surprise me,” she said.
She’s blind, but I’ve known her long enough that all those crude jokes you think about surprising blind people… just grow up, okay? Dude.
What I did was: I bought her a jar of jellybeans.
The jar had beans of every flavor it in, mixed all together.
Cherry. Grape. Bubblegum. Strawberry.
You name it, it was in there.
Every flavor was a surprise to her.
“Thank you!” she said. And she tried to hug me.
She missed, and fell down the stairs, breaking her neck.
