One of my closest friends suggested that I "live a day in the life" of a deaf person. Meaning: she thinks it would be a great idea if i pretended to be deaf for a day. I'm talking buying earplugs and using nothing but asl for communication, writing things down on paper, or using my blackberry. She wants the two of us to go shopping or out to eat. She would be the hearing person (she knows just a smidge of sign) and i would be deaf of course.
She's asked me several times if we could do an outing together but if it's something that might show the Deaf community in a negative light, i'm not going to do it.
Opinions appreciated, thank you.
p.s.- my siad friend works with HOH children so she's picking up signs little by little. I believe her when she says she has respect for deaf/Deaf.
