I went out with a boy once, I was 17 and he was deaf and dumb.

We were at this party and his friend came up to me

and he said that he really liked me, this boy. And they were signing and lip reading and I signed too, kind of a
freestyle sign. Then his friend went away and we danced, then he walked me home and my aunt was in Scarsdale
so… I went to bed with him. It was my first time. Anyway the next morning I woke up and he was lying there beside
me and I looked at him and I thought ‘this is wonderful’, and then he opened his eyes and he looked at me and he
said “Get me a cup of coffee babe”, so I did, and I asked if he took sugar, he said yes. He wasn’t deaf, or dumb. I
went out with him for a while after that, and then one day he didn’t call, then he didn’t call back. In the end he really
was silent.
