Recently, we went to our local grocery store to pick up a few things. At check out, Thomas had a quick conversation with the person that sacked our groceries. Not out of the ordinary for Thomas to strike-up a conversation with a stranger, but this stranger didn't have any hands...and he was sacking our groceries...without any hands.
Thomas: "What happened to your hands?"
Sacker: "When I was young, I got sick and the doctors had to remove my hands."
Thomas: "Oh, that's not good."
Sacker: "What happened to your ears?"
Thomas: "This is my implant and my hearing aid (turning his head to show the sacker). They help me hear. My ears are broken."
Sacker: "Oh, they are pretty cool."
Thomas: "Yep, you are pretty cool, too."
Sacker: "Thanks. See you next time."
Thomas: "Okay, see you next time."
A pretty cool conversation between a young man with no hands and a "medium kid" (as Thomas calls himself)with broken ears.
