Punky Brewster!!! Nobody around me remembers that show.
smiling and nodding when you have no clue what is going on. love it. lol. my brother did that one time to this deaf lady. we were at church and she was like signing to him for a good 10 minutes and he was smiling and nodding. I was like, whoa he is getting really really good at sing and then she did a question mark at the end and he was like, what? and she did the question mark again and again he was like, what?! i’v never seen anyone look so exasperated before. later he was like someone told me it’s considered polite to smile and nod when the deaf talk to you…I was like yeah, if you UNDERSTAND them. lol.
Punky Brewster, I LOVED that show! Amazing how life changes so much, isn’t it. Hey, I got my ears pierced this year, and I agree: that was an event.
You went to Crossroads eh? Way cool. I live right across the street from Wheeler Mission outreach center and volunteer there two nights a week. I love Guava and fresh Coconut. Right up there with passion fruit drink. I left a piece of me in South America so I understand why you wanted to go back.
