The Glass Castle - Pg 96

   "What's the matter?" I asked. Instead of answering, Lori ran outside. I followed her. She was standing in the parking lot, gazing in awe at the trees, the houses, and the office buildings behind them.
   "You see that tree over there?" she said, pointing at a sycamore about a hundred feet away. I nodded.
   "I can not only see that tree, I can see the individual leaves on it." She looked at me triumphantly. "Can you see them?"
   I nodded.
   She didn't seem to believe me. "The individual leaves? I mean, not just the branches but each little leaf?"
   I nodded. Lori looked at me and then burst into tears.
