I have a twin sister... (Alaia) and shes profoundly deaf... (I like to talk bout her a lot cos shes my hero!)
We just went to the store and while there she wanted to buy a drink...She picked it up, went up to the pay point and as she can lip read, better than I can talk nearly!! (lol) she looked at the woman (who was like 50..) and waited for her to ask for the money...But instead, this woman just looks at me and says it to me!!
Alaia was so angry, but as she cant speak well enough for people out of the family to understand, she just slammed her hand on the counter and the woman serving just said...Oh no shes angry, poor her..'
I couldnt beleive her ignorance, yeah, she was very angry, she walked out the store without the drink and now shes upstairs in our room and shes crying and looks so sad, which is awful, cos shes so happy...
Its not the 1st time by a long way, but I think she is just getting really tired of being different in other peoples eyes..
Help me help her!
