ð âDeaf me vs. my super-enthusiastic boss in a âjokeâ showdown (kinda?)â
One day, during lunch break at work,
I was eating my bento in the break room
when my super-enthusiastic boss, A-san, strolled over.
This guyâs the classic âKansai-style, teasing jokesterâ type ðº.
Out of nowhere, he stands right in front of me,
miming something with his mouth⊠but,
itâs so fast I canât lip-read a thing. ðð
Me: Uh⊠what?
Boss: âŠ(smirking like he nailed it)
Me: I have NO idea whatâs going on ð€£
But I just grinned and said, âOhhh, got it!â
A-san burst out laughing and said,
âThat was me introducing myself as âHors dâoeuvreâ! No way youâd get that!!â
âŠHors dâoeuvre?!?! ð€ðð¥ð¥
I mean, what even?! I cracked up so hard ð€£.
It was obviously a joke for the laughs.
(Apparently, he got the idea because my lunch had a fancy salad that looked like an hors dâoeuvre.)
ð¬ But thereâs kindness in that.
Turns out, A-san had been wondering,
âHow do I get closer to them?â ever since he learned Iâm deaf.
It wasnât just about ânormal conversation.â
He was trying to connect with me through jokes and vibes.
Isnât that the sweetest kind of kindness? âºïž
Instead of worrying, âWhat if it doesnât land?â or âWhat if itâs awkward?â
he went, âEven if it flops, letâs share a laugh.â
Thatâs the kind of thing that warms your heart.
ð§ Since then, my lip-reading skills have leveled up!
A-sanâs jokes are basically 90% energy and 10% nonsense.
Stuff like, âExtra firm, yo!â (like ramen noodles)
or âThatâs the princess of the yakisoba world!â
Itâs borderline philosophical gibberish.
But itâs so funny.
Even when I canât catch his lip movements,
I throw back some gestures and exaggerated faces,
and now weâve got this âvibe-based sign language comedy routineâ going ð€£ðð.
According to A-san,
âTalking to you is like brain training!!â
What a review, lol.
ð Laughter doesnât need sound to connect.
Other colleagues saw us and were like,
âThat looks fun!â
Now, there are a few more people at work throwing mime-jokes at me. ð
I bet some of them were unsure how to interact with me at first.
But laughter? Itâs the ultimate wall-breaker.
No sound, different words, offbeat timingâdoesnât matter.
A smile carries feelings just fine.
ð In summary: A-sanâs not an hors dâoeuvre, but heâs the best.
A relationship where âitâs okay if it doesnât quite landâ
feels so freeing.
When youâve got an environment that says, âHey, thatâs fine too,â
every day gets a little more fun.
Hereâs to keep laughing
in the âway-too-lively silenceâ of my workplace âºïžâš.
