I wanted to share y’all my all time favorite holiday cartoons which I found over the internet years ago. *chuckle*

My students know my number one rule in my classroom – the safety rule of being deaf.

Welcome back to another school year.

HELLO MAUREEN HERE GA

HELLO THIS IS YOUR MOTHER. SMILE. GOOD MORNING TO YOU AND I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD SLEEP SMILE OK REASON WHY I WANTED TO CALL YOU BECAUSE I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT TODAY IS YOUR FATHER’S BIRTHDAY… SMILE. GA

Remember the TTY days? No, better – remember when there weren’t any “smiley face” days? Instead of that, we used the word, “SMILE” often – especially during our TTY conversations. I found this old comic strip about our “SMILE” days…before the “smiley faces” were born. I remember how annoying it was for me…. Was it for you too?

And no, I never had my mom call me to remind me that it was my dad’s birthday.

I was cleaning out my stuff and found a very first comic strip I did after I graduated from RIT. Sometimes it’s nice to have hearing people get taste of our daily lives because they do not get to be “deaf” everyday.

And if you want to know who the deaf guy was mocking at, here are the answers:

1st – Arnold Schwarzenegger,  2nd – Dolly Parton,  3rd – hearing people.
