When I was young, there was a child in my elementary school class who was deaf. The teachers all tried to teach us how to speak cued speech so that we could communicate with him. I never really got it. I believed that if I just faked it, I would eventually pick up the language. I didn’t know how mean this was at the time. Now I know exactly what it is like to be made fun of by someone who isn’t making fun of you.
[That’s why people always ask you to say what you mean.]
