The Horror

Sometimes when we are driving and listening to music I will do sign language along with the lyrics. Not only does it keep my signing sharp, it humors Kendrick. In the middle of my interpretive signing today Kendrick suddenly turns down the radio and says, "I just thought of something awful." to which I reply, "if you say something to the effect of how awful it would be to be deaf without arms I am going to kill you." He says, "No no no..it's worse. I was just thinking how horrible it would be to be to have a song stuck in your head when you are deaf. How the hell do you get it out??" He went on to specify that this would only happen to people who were once hearing....(no shit sherlock) He sat there with a mortified look on his face and said, "you know, you couldn't just listen to a different song to get it out of there." What?????? REALLY???? That was three minutes of conversation that I can't get back. Three minutes wasted that I will never have again. I could have done something great with my life in that amount of time..but no...I spent that three minutes humoring a conversation that left me dumber than I was when I started.Nobody can tell me he isn't empathetic, feeling sorry for all the hearing impaired people out there with songs like Hotel California stuck in their heads. To all people who fall into this category..you are not alone...someone else is feeling your pain........even if he isn't deaf
