RACHEL - HAPPY DEAF HISTORY MONTH!
ps. this is not an April fools joke.
CAILIN - My English Great Grandfather and Irish Great Grandmother were both deaf. His father beat him to deaf* after he hit a policeman in the head with a snowball, and I believe she was born without hearing. They met at a school for the deaf in South Africa, and raised four boys. I sometimes wonder what that must have been like... I imagine it was difficult. But I can't confirm that because they are all long dead. Lost to Deaf History.
* That is an awful joke. Sorry. And yet not sorry enough to delete it...
