hard of hearing After Barbara finished the joke, everyone laughed even her brothers Dave and Brian, who never seemed to give her credit for anything she said But then she turned to her father, who sat there cold and motionless His arms were crossed; his head was pushed down into his shoulders His furrowed brow framed his eyes, which seemed to stare at her in contempt “Maybe he didn’t hear you, Barb,” Dave finally mumbled “You know he’s hard of hearing.” U.S. Government Copyright Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers on all art and all writings on this site completed before 6/6/04.
