Kitchens are a very special place to deaf people. It is the only room in a house that is important. If you want to find a deaf person, go check your kitchen. There are probably one or fifty in there. Check all the corners, sometimes they are hiding in there chatting up a storm.
If deaf people could, they would build a house with only kitchens. It would be paradise to them. They would have many bright rooms well stocked with food and adequate seating (these are nice kitchens with a bar and many stools).
Kitchens are important to deaf people. So important, in fact, that trying to eject them from the kitchen into other rooms in the house will be met with great resistance and cries of, “But the light is better here! And there’s food!”
If you want to increase your standing within the deaf community, the best thing to do is invite deaf people within your kitchen and supply a few choice bowls of pretzels and beer. Just keep in mind you may not be able to remove the deaf people from your kitchen once they are there.
