I’m 31 years old & I only just found out that apparently sighted people see rain?!?!

The rain actually falling from the sky not hitting ground.

Mind blown.

I have seen photos of rain but just assumed you could see it because it was a static image...

And for any asshats yes I know when it’s raining, I can feel, hear & smell rain. Also I can sometimes see splashes on the ground or wet ground.

Also I just ran into Other Half’s office & before even a good morning I started quizzing him about how he sees rain.

This is just like discovering you can see leaves in trees & not just green... that was a hell of a revelation too
