She Talks with Her Hands

The other day Grace was trying to tell my mom something, only without speaking. She would point her fingers and wave her arms around, but no words. My mom told Grace that she would have to speak for her to understnd what she wanted. Grace replied that she was only talking like Sarah. Sarah is her best friend whos parents are both profoundly deaf. Grace thought she could succesfully communicate the same way as Sarah and her family. My mom explained that she doesn't know sign language. Grace said that was fine, she would interpret.
