Jill, my brother, who should know better, was amazed that Hayley and

her friends were going to a Superbowl party at WPSD which is in

pittsburgh, saying he didn't think deaf kids had any awareness of

this!

LOL, It's amazing, isn't it?

We went to an Army hockey game recently and she was stunned that Ian had any

interest in that. Why not? He's a kid and some of his friends play hockey

.... we live 15 minutes from a rink that has teams and tournaments all year. Why

wouldn't he be? He and his friends had a blast.

She dismisses Ian so easily, and yet would call and ask Ian to " come over

and play " with his cousins, which is really code for " I want a free babysitter

while I run errands. " And Ian would be happy to babysit free-of-charge for

the boys, so why bother with the subterfuge?

Family is such a trip. -- Jill
