Instant thought- I learned asl in middle school. Theoretically, if for eg. My mother lost her ability to hear..... would I be able to speak with her using the language she's going to need to learn?
Hypothetically, she'd futeretense have learned what I'm saying now some day......?????

Pondering the force s of universal rules against the maternal inability to pass on her gnowledge?

@y0d5 Only if you learn the language she does.

@y0d5 We teach our children. Animals only teach survival things--squirrels don't teach their young about roads.
