• “Turn up your hearing aid!”
• “Why don’t deaf people just get cochlear implants?”
• “Oh, I love sign language! “A… . .B… . .C…”

So many of these things have been said to my dad, and it’s both funny and sad ((sad as in “pathetic”)) all at the same time. It just goes to show you the lack of intelligence there is in society anymore. Seriously…
