“NOT ENGLISH”

Funny thing about saying, “Not English.”

I was looking for a fork in the kitchen and tiptoes into the kitchen. I kept looking for fork until the lady in the kitchen saw me. I asked, “Need a fork,” and she said, “Not English.” I was puzzled because she is black, not look like Mexican or something. Finally, the manager asked us what we were doing? I saw the siverware and showed her silverware fork, and the manager said, “Not that silverware.” Actually, I am nonverbal, so understand what I am looking for. She told that lady to get her plastic fork. The lady went into the room and got me a fork. I said, “Thank you.” Not know what she said after I turned my back to her.

Can you imagine anyone telling you….”Not English?” Wow.

My hearing aides batteries dead, so I can’t hear her saying after turning my back to her. Sorry!

    My god son is deaf. He just turned 19. I can’t believe it. But he only wore hearing aids for a short while when he was little then quit. He’s only recently “thought” about getting them again but he is absolutely perfect in my eyes. He will be going to Gallaudet next school year. I’m so proud of him. I love him just like I love all 3 of my own boys. I met him when he was in pre-k and I worked in deaf education. Best years of my life. ❤️
