Beneath the Wings: "What?"

"What?"

Usually when Ricki asks me a question, and my answer is not understood by her, she will say "WHAT?" again... and again... and again. If I am not paying attention, I may misunderstand, and assume that she didn't hear me (especially if she is not wearing her hearing aid). Today I was surprised by her. She asked what was for supper, and I answered "goulash". She looked puzzled, asked "Whast?", and then added: "I didn't understand what you said."
EUREEKA!

A description of this blog

This blog is basically a diary, journal, and notes of observations. In the past it dealt mostly with the topics of special needs, especially a real view of what life is like with (and for) a teen with Down syndrome. However, since Ricki's death in August 2012, at age 17, the amount of blogging on the subject of "special needs" has decreased. Additional topics are interpersonal relationships, life in Israel, and dieting. (I have lost 75 kilos...)(And no, I did NOT have weight-loss surgery....) Also an occasional get-on-a-soapbox-and-tell-it-like-it-is personal opinion.
