My sweet husband was reading Katy No-Pocket by Emmy Payne and H. A. Rey, to my little O. Of course, little O was listening very carefully, so when T read the part where the owl asked Katy to speak up because he was a bit deaf, little O asked T what deaf was.
T replied, "I can't hear you."
O said, a little louder, "What is deaf?"
Again, T replied, "I can't hear you."
Finally, O yelled very loudly, "WHAT IS DEAF???"
T answered, "Deaf means a person can't hear very well or at all."
With his new-found understanding of the word, little O concluded, "Dad, you're deaf!"

We are...
- WeLive.WeLearn.
- ...a homeschooling family, learning more from life (and each other) than from any set curriculum. We love travel, books, museums, music, parks, friends, Legos, bugs, dirt, rocks, plants, water, bubbles, dinosaurs, things with wheels, gravity, stars, cameras, sports, and more...

How funny! I was just trying to explain the same thing to Allie. She was learning a song in VBS that used sign language. I told her that sign language was often used by deaf persons. She asked what "deaf" meant and I simply said that it means you can't hear what others are saying with words. She responded, "OH! Like Poppy! (Her grandfather.) I said, "No, Poppy isn't deaf..." She responded, "Well, he sure doesn't listen!"
I know how she feels. I have a few family members who sometimes don't listen very well!
