I am a little bit familiar with deaf culture (Iâ??m learning ASL) and believe me they are no dummies. He knows exactly what heâ??s doing.

I donâ??t know weather his mother feels sorry for him because she somehow feels responsible for his deafness or whatever. She might cut him a lot of slack on minding and he uses the puppy face because it pushes her buttons. Face it he wouldnâ??t do it if it didnâ??t work for him. Just a thought, I donâ??t know your sister or her situation.

Youâ??ll have to deal with being Auntie meanie for a while but after a bit youâ??ll be back in good graces and youâ??ll have a great time.
