**mammarazzi** - re Miss R.

omg, I just read your post. I CAN NOT BELIEVE that some woman said "yeah, I knew R was deaf all along, because of the way she looks"

What exactly does a deaf person look like? What was she trying to say?

Last time I checked, wasnt there a deaf Miss America?

What did you say to her?

I would have lost it. How rude. Thats the rudest thing I have heard in a LONG time. For realz.

I think Ruby is beautiful. :)

Re: **mammarazzi** - re Miss R.

  • Thanks.

    Yeah, I was definitely pissed.  Still am.  What in the FRICK does that even mean???

    She was all "Is your daughter deaf?  I can tell by the way she looks."  I was all "Really?  What do you mean?"  She said "Her eyes."  I asked if she meant that she's constantly looking around and noticing things in her peripheral vision.  She said "No, it's the way they look.  She just looks like a deaf baby"  !!!

    I happen to think my daughter has gorgeous eyes.  And I don't know WTF deaf people "look" like. 

    The kicker is that she has a deaf son herself.  I would think she'd remember back to when he was a baby and people said stupid sh!t to her.  It makes it worse, IMO.

    And MWHS grads can back me up on this, but we had a basketball player who was deaf, and he was smokin' hot.  So for me, that's what a deaf person "looks" like. Wink

    Indifferent That is sooo incredibly rude. 

    R is a beautiful baby girl!  Most of the time I forget she has hearing issues.  And I think it's ridiculous that she thinks there is a "look" to deaf children.
