(This is a huge confession coming from a guy whose TV is usually locked on ESPN.) You...

My Thoughts on Sweet Nothing In My Ear
Noah's Blog Also, I forgot to add that Deaf people should realize that not only hearing parents refuse to accept that their Deaf children cannot hear in the same way they hear, but also Deaf parents with their hard-of-hearing or hearing children. On the bottom of line, all parents, both Deaf and hearing, ought to accept who their children truly are.

Thumbs UP
Deaf Tea Time "Sweet Nothing In My Ear" has my double thumbs UPs. Well made and very wise decision not to include into the movie "the winner."

Dan Grisham was grieving for the hearing baby he once had and Laura Grisham was scared of ...
