Story of teh Day 1/ 12/ 2018



Yesterday, I drove to southern Indiana to pick up Sarah's friend, who will be visiting over the weekend. Driving back. I started to sing along to one of the songs on the radio. I stopped myself, and then signed to her, "Are you wearing your cochlear implant?"

She responded, "No."

I signed, "Good, because I am singing along with the radio, and I sing REALLY badly. "

This got me a raised eyebrow. After all, most deaf people won't care if am singing along, whether or not they have their cochlear implant or hearing aids on.

So, I explained, "When my deaf son was about 7, we were driving home . He was in the backseat and I was singing along to the radio.

Aaron, who was wearing his hearing aids, told me, "Please don't sign. It sounds awful!"

Now there are bad singers out there.
And there are really bad singers, but how many have had a deaf person ask them to not sing?
