About the displaying....
My mom does that quite a lot. Not just the deaf thing, but EVERYTHING ELSE. "She's on the honor roll." "She is going to so-and-so college." etc. It's quite embarrassing....
Has it occurred to anyone that parents feel the need to show off ANY "perceived" accomplishment of their child(ren)?
Hell, my aunt introduces her daughter as "This is Natalie. She's married to an attorney."
If anything, that's even more offensive than "This is so and so and she's deaf!"
