The bosses are both back today, which means that everything that’s been going crazy this week is even crazier now as we settle down, recap, and regroup for next week.

Whew.

But in the meantime, I saw this article and thought of my mom, who’s a special education teacher. She works with deaf kids (who should consider themselves lucky because they can’t hear her scary “teacher voice”), and she’s pretty awesome at sign language.

Wait, she’s probably mastered “teacher voice” in ASL, too.

(She denies that she has a teacher voice. It’s just like the sock fight that we’ve been having for about 23 years. We’re never going to see eye to eye on either of them. Just so we’re clear, I’m not the one stealing socks. I don’t wear socks. Notice that Mike is usually pretty silent during these debates…)

Click here for the link to the story. It’s adorable. A kid signs “I’m proud of you” at Obama and he signs back “Thank you.” Awwww, our President is awesome!

[side note: when I sent mom the links to the “Dirty Sign Language” videos on YouTube, she was not nearly as amused as I was.] [P.S. to the side note: Grandma, don’t click on that link. Thanks.]
