Discussion with a (near) Deaf Dad

My father is nearly deaf. In my introductory post I mentioned that he recently got a hearing aid. Even though it helps a little, dad still has a difficult time hearing. I always make sure he is looking at me when I speak. Sometimes, he'll even  mute the television so he can hear me (but that's a post for another day).

I took a nap this evening because I haven't been feeling well. While I was sleeping, our friends stopped by. Unfortunately, I missed their visit. Upon waking, I went to the kitchen to eat and check on mom (she had been to the doctor today and I wasn't able to go with her). While sitting at the table discussing the doctor's orders, dad entered to tell me my friends were here. The conversation went like this:

 Dad: Some of your friends were here knocking at the door.
 Me: Did you answer it? (Sometimes he won't)
 Dad: Well, I went out, but they were already walking away.
 Me: Ok. Yeah, they did text me (checking my phone). Thanks.
 Dad: They said maybe you were sleeping and they were calling you on the phone.
 Me: It was M and L.
 Dad: The one guy looked like that guy you hang out with.
 Me: Yeah, it was M and L.
 Dad: No, it didn't look like M.
 Me: But it was M. His wife texted saying they were here.
 Dad: But it didn't look like him. I don't think it was M.
 Me: Yes it was. Look! They sent me a message!
 Dad: Well, it didn't look like him.
 Me: He cut his hair and shaved, dad. It was M.
 Dad: It still didn't look like him.
 Mom: Jack (that's my dad's name), it was M and L!
 Dad: Well, it didn't look like him, and I don't think it was him.
 Me: (rolling my eyes) Ok! I'm going back to bed.


It reminded me of this:
