A DEAF KID WITH HEARING FAMILY DeafDigest editor was eating at a pizza place in Washington, DC. Next to him was a large table with family members. One of the family members was a kid. He saw DeafDigest editor signing to his wife. When the DeafDigest editor paid the check and left the table, the deaf kid suddenly waved - I am deaf. Very heartbreaking for a deaf kid to be ignored by his family members.
