Chance goes "off-line"

Chance LOVES to read and has found that by taking off his implants, he can immerse himself into his own little world.

That would be nice to do sometimes wouldn't it?

It needs to be done in the right way though.  That would mean not locking the door, taking off the implants and settling into reading a book.

That is good if you have given warning to the family that you are "off-line" so to speak, so they don't call you and knock on the door waiting for you to respond.

Another time Chance is in his own little world.

Chance's sister ended up having to go outside and get his attention by knocking and waving at him through the window.

That must have been an awesome sight for our neighbors across the street.

There was Chance's sister calling through the window into the house while waving her arms about.

Having a deaf person in the house definitely keeps it interesting for all of us.

After that little incident we had a talk with Chance about how we as his family, and especially his parents, need to know when he decides to take himself "off-line".

Then he did it again a few hours later!!

This time we were a little more firm in our admonitions about Chance taking off implants and locking the door when no one knows he is unable to hear anything.

Jeez, it would be nice to have that capability sometimes though wouldn't it?
