Deaf
people certainly have their quirks…Here are some weird things I’ve noticed.
At
Gallaudet, we call this specific trait of deaf people, “Deaf Time”. Deaf people
tend to be fashionably late A LOT. I think this is improving though.
Deaf
college kids like to party. Gallaudet is the number 5 party school in
Washington, D.C., and we only have 1,500 or so kids.
One
thing I really like about the deaf culture is how there’s a real sense of
community. If one of us falls, the community helps them back up.
Deaf
people really love “The Cupid Shuffle”. I’m serious. They ADORE it. Every time
there’s a party, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE gets onto the dance floor. I don’t
get it.
Feel
free to add your own observations. J
We definitely have quirks! I agree with those that you have observed.
ReplyDeleteIf one of us falls, the community helps them back up... But what happens if one of us succeeds? What are your thoughts on the crab theory?
