Very fascinating. And now whenever I see dragonflies I think of you :)<br /><br />Dave - yes, it DID help me make friends easier in class...hmmm....<br /><br />Eric - I am a professional self-embarrasser. Thank God no one in my Tae Kwon Do classes hated me or they would have felt so much glee as I repeatedly hit myself in the face with my own nun-chucks. <br /><br />Droll - Yeah, for those of us who are accident prone, it's a very risky language.<br /><br />Lira - I knew you would :)<br /><br />Kristin - I am totally putting this in my next script, girl. You can count on it.<br /><br />Krista - You know me, Little Miss Popular. ;) I DID think it was strange that all the guys wanted to sit by me after that...<br /><br />Terresa - ask them if they've also ever mixed up "coffee" and "make out". This language was NOT designed for people like me! <br /><br />Joker - I've probably signed that by accident as well. Adding it to the list.<br /><br />Okie - a lot of ASL is based on context, so there are a LOT of mistakes that can be made. Can't wait to make 'em all...<br /><br />Dionne - I would probably be even MORE popular if this was up on YouTube! (Guess I gotta be careful what I wish for, eh?)<br /><br />Kid - can't wait to see it pop up in a movie a couple years from now and go, HEY! That actually happened to me!! <br /><br />Gwen - Hah! I think that's the problem. Even when I'm not signing ASL I'm still usually saying something wrong! <br /><br />Barbara - my teacher is female. I think she laughed harder than anyone else.<br /><br />Nick - next time it's better to just ask in English. Less risk of getting slapped, I think. And yeah, wasn't Richard Burton awesome??<br /><br />Lenore - yeah, it's definitely sitcom material! <br /><br />Lakeviewer - "Curiously in trouble, in so many ways, and none of which are (my) fault." I am SO putting this on business cards. It's my new slogan! <br /><br />David - Nice to meet you! Yes, I would think that making sure "ice cream" is correctly signed is probably one of the most important aspects of ASL, lol!Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142287751037233827.post-73042642845996409252010-11-02T20:42:06.904-07:002010-11-02T20:42:06.904-07:00Really enjoyed your narrative style.

Go figure. It must've been invented by a male, no? <br /><br />I learned a LOT of sign language when I used to teach Sunday School. We signed tons of songs and that's how I learned much of it.<br /><br />Good luck in your class. I'm sure you they won't forget your presentation. Tee-Hee. :-)<br /><br />PS: I've loved dragonflies since I was about five years old. Dragonflies and lizards are my favorite bugs. I'd catch lizards and get dragonflies to lite on my hands. I rescued a lizard just last week from my cats, poor thing. I caught him by the tail and toss him up a tree.

Their favorite part of my story is when I describe the horrified expression on my Deaf teacher's face.<br /><br />Robin - that's TOTALLY what she said. Hah! <br /><br />Elisabeth - there really needs to be a warning sign or something, don't you think?!<br /><br />Annie - Girl, I love cracking you up.<br /><br />Kid - That exact scene SO needs to be in a script of yours. <br /><br />Indigo - Wow, I hope Paul was in the doghouse for that one! And yeah, I'd love to hear your experience with the Deaf community but I'm not surprised to hear that you haven't exactly been embraced. There seems to be some sort of hierarchy and the Deaf community tends to look down on people who became Deaf later in life, or people who have learned to lip-read. It's a very blunt community too... I'd love to hear your thoughts sometime on it. <br /><br />Anthony - You're right, I'm sure this happens in every language. This is why in school I studied German (if they even have bad words, they are very obvious, like "scheisse") and Latin. It's hard to offend people in a dead language.Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142287751037233827.post-4009282353847463522010-10-26T16:55:25.829-07:002010-10-26T16:55:25.829-07:00See now knowing my luck I'd start out with a s...See now knowing my luck I'd start out with a smile and a wink and end upw ith a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough in my lap.Bathwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286545216706532921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142287751037233827.post-57351319268591891202010-10-26T16:48:45.374-07:002010-10-26T16:48:45.374-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anthony Ducehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476865809734682418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142287751037233827.post-39236444730318332892010-10-26T16:48:33.401-07:002010-10-26T16:48:33.401-07:00Very funny….

I’ve had similar embarrassing moments using the languages I’ve known for a long time. I do have to concede though, not as remunerable… :::::☺Anthony Ducehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476865809734682418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142287751037233827.post-27469119249165541262010-10-26T16:24:36.059-07:002010-10-26T16:24:36.059-07:00ASL is the more readily recognized sign language. ...ASL is the more readily recognized sign language. Then it gets weird. They actually have a few different forms that have subtle differences and sometimes people tend to get them mixed up.<br /><br />Bad sign experience:Imagine my surprise when I go into a restaurant and excuse myself to go into the restroom. Come back out and the waitress keeps making the sign for sex. All I could think of was, 'what the heck did she think I did in the bathroom'. By this time Paul is busting his gut across the table. Apparently he told the woman that was the sign for good and she was asking if the food was good. <br /><br />I made him straighten that out with her before we left. Figures guys always learn the crude words first.<br /><br />Believe it or not, I've been deaf for almost 6 years and still only know the very basic signs. I need to learn sign language myself. I read lips so well and so few people actually sign, so I've been putting it off. <br /><br />As for the Deaf community, ask me about it sometime and I'll explain. Let's just say born deaf, doesn't always welcome late deafened with open arms. At least that's the general consensus in the area I live in.
