okay. I am hearing and started learning sign language for my girlfriend since she may lose all her hearing later on in the future. well when i first started learning signs I had a real bad lesson in how hard learning sign language would be. This is a funny story to me. Maybe some of you will get a laugh out of it.
Okay. One day I was in my tv productions class with Brittney (my awesome girlfriend) and I was supposed to sign "I will tell you later"...instead I mixed up the "tell" sign with the new sign i learned..."swallow"...i didn't realize at first that i just signed to Brittney that I would swallow her later. She looked at me shocked and signed what? Swallow me later? And I mouthed yeah I'll tell you later...well she started laughing and I was wondering why. Later she came up to me and whispered in my ear...babe, you just signed that you will swallow me later....needless to say I turned bright red and felt so embarrased (i'm a real shy guy)...At that moment I realized sign language would be a hard thing for me to learn because it is just so easy to mix up signs that are so similar when you just start learning sign.
So yeah, that's my somewhat funny...somewhat embarrasing story. Hope it made you smile or laugh. I mean, isn't always great to laugh at other peoples stupidity?...Just Kidding!
