Even though Nan-ma's blind, she sees things others do not. Phoebe-half Jamaican, half French-Canadian-hates her school nickname of "French Toast." So she is mortified when, out on a walk with her Jamaican grandmother, she hears a classmate shout it out at her. To make things worse, Nan-Ma, who is blind, wants an explanation of the name.
