Thanks for all *ahem* sorry ;) On a more serious note, I communicated with my kids with a dozen signs or so from the American sign langage (drink, milk, bread, pain, sleep, etc.) before they were able to speak. We had some good exchanges that I think would have been impossible without it. Neat. I love Neatorama…it is wonderful

My 14 yo son is Deaf, and has created many "home signs" in addition to using American Sign Language, which he has learned and used since he was a baby. What's amazing is that other Deaf understand his reasoning for his home signs; they accept and then use them as well. He also says that he has two families: his hearing (home) family and his Deaf family. This is his way of demonstrating how important other Deaf and Deaf culture are to him.
