I am so oblivious! As I was walking in this morning, one of my deaf clients waved me over and introduced me to his sons. (Today is Family Day, there are lots of activities and games and very little work gets done.) I said hello, nice to meet you, etc. and then my client said “You know their mom, right?” No… “You don’t know their mom?” No… “You don’t know who their mom is?” By this point I was thinking maybe he was using some bizarre new sign and wasn’t saying mom at all, because how could I have known who their mom is? So he told me her name…and she’s another one of our deaf clients! In all this time working here I never once connected their last names, even though it’s not a common name. She came up and hugged one of her sons while I told what her husband had just said to me, so we all had a good laugh at how I never realized the two of them were married.
