We were at a store and found some shorts that we thought Chance might be interested in. Since he keeps growing ever taller, he has outgrown most of his shorts. You would think that shorts could just be shorter than they were the year before, but many of Chance's shorts are an awkward fit now too.
Thus, when we found shorts on sale that looked like Chance's style, we sent pictures to see if he liked any of them. He did like them and he replied to my text with, "Yes I do!"
The only problem was, Chance had fallen asleep and we had been trying to reach him for an hour and a half by the time he responded. We knew he was asleep when we left for the store and being deaf and all with implants off, he did not hear his phone when we called him. By the time he responded to the text we were on our way home.
I called him to tell him that we had left the store and before I could say anything, Chance answered the phone and said, "I can't hear you. My implants are not on. Text me."
I had the thought that Chance would not be able to tell if I said OK or if I heard him, but apparently he had faith that all would just work out with out him hearing my response.
It was a little odd that he would answer the phone just so he could tell me he couldn't hear me, but it gave his dad and I a good laugh.
Chance did not get the shorts. Maybe we'll have to go back to the store at a later date when Chance is either responding to my texts in a timely fashion, or when he can hear me over the phone when I call.

Well, Chance definitely is behaving like a typical deaf teenager. I probably did this dozens of times to my parents. Sometimes I still answer the phone without wearing my implants while telling them, "Wait a minute, I need to get my implant first." :-)
