I noticed you were wearing same t-shirt or whatever. Only different is color. No other different clothes?

@TheDeafobserver when i find a bargain deal, i scoop up in all different colors. And, sadly I am a starving artist, so no different clothes.

I know what you mean when we are on display. I tend to ham it up with more movement and become a bit more obnoxious. I've resorted to starying back too! When I'm in a mood it happens. Thanks for checking out my vlog!

CONT.. sign language was my first language, i have been signing since i was 10 months old. i also get the same questions about my siblings. and the thing that bothers me the most is when someone calls for my parents and want to speak to one of them and i tell the person on the phone that they are deaf, they apologize and hang up, it really irritates me. so yeah i know exactly what you mean

[codadiva]

I just add my video to video reponse for you and hope if you can help me understand or how to deal the situation. I have only hearing older daughter in my deaf family. She has a brother and a sister who are deaf. I hope I can help to raise my CODA daughter better. I plan to have her attend KODA camp but have to be 9 yrs or older. She just turn 9 yrs old last Feb so see what I can do for my daughter. Really appreciate your feedback, sharing ur experience, and/or advice. :)

hello! i would like to start by saying that i really like your videos! I am a hearing person but I'm learning ASL at high school . i really respect the deaf and hard of hearing community don't get me wrong. but maybe when people ask you questions like that just tell them in a nice way what there doing wrong. there is a guy my age in my study hall who is CODA and we've asked him questions and he tells us honest answers and he is one who would tell some one if there questions are stupid.

Whenever someone asks me these annoying questions I just say "Plug your ears. Is there anything you can't do now?"

[faliner]
