Deaf Compliment?

[Tousi]

Sometimes I get mistaken for being a hearing person especially when I am so tired and my mind reverts back to my first language causing my ASL become very sloppy.

tired or one Jagermeister too many?

I always ask people if they're deaf... the reason is:

If you ask a deaf person they're deaf - they feel normal.
If you ask a hearing person if they're deaf - they feel special.

If you ask a deaf person if they're hearing - they're offended and will remember this event.
If you ask a hearing person if they're hearing - they feel either normal or looked down on.

And I am always around deaf people, so do the math.

It happens to me from time to time but I am never being offended when they deafies ask me that.
