Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I guess its sort of an unspoken rule that people who sign don’t really wear bracelets or rings because they are distracting and can get in the way. I, however, have a love of rings with big stones so I frequently wear them to work. It doesn’t distract my kids so I never had a problem with it…until yesterday.
I was downstairs during lunch and some of the 5th and 7th grade girls started talking to me. True to my personality, my signing can be very enthusiastic and I got a bit carried away smacking myself in my face with my ring and leaving a very sore spot right under my eyebrow. My ring went into my pocket for the rest of the day and will be limited to weekend wear in which I use only my voice and not my hands to communicate.
