Even though I can hear somewhat if I cant see the persons lips or if they are speaking too fast I cannot understand them and I have ask them to repeat what I missed and I sometimes get that "You're a dumbass" look from them. Or like yesterday I was in Sunday School class and there were many people talking at the same time and I had a hard time keeping up with the conversation, so I just sat there on the sofa looking at my Diet Dr. Pepper cup and leaning back with my eyes closed like I was trying to work off a hangover, lol.
Oh well, maybe one of these days I'll muster up the courage to tell the group my predicament and asking them to please not treat me like a dumbass and that if you are speaking to me could you place face me and talk clearly so I can read your lips. With the sign language thing coming up soon, the opportunity may present itself soon enough. I just hope they dont start treating me like a 5 year old kid because so far I like it there.
