I taught my baby sign language
At 36:36 · chapter starts 35:08
Shayne reads a 2019 TIFU post from a mother who, inspired by the Pinterest moms at her mommy-and-me class, Googled baby sign language and started teaching her 1-year-old basic communication signs [1] — Shayne Topp "A mom learned ASL from Google images to teach her baby basic needs. In a restaurant, her daughter signed 'alcohol' every time she wanted wa…" 37:10 . The results seemed promising until a restaurant visit revealed that her baby had been signing 'alcohol' every time she wanted water, and 'dumb' instead of 'dad' — due to subtle but crucial differences in ASL handshapes. Two deaf women sitting nearby noticed the baby's signing and stopped to gently correct the mom via a typed iPhone message. The OP's postscript is defensive, charming, and very funny: the Reddit story actually happened four years before she posted it, and she's annoyed that commenters are demanding upvote refunds. Amanda tries to work out the correct sign for 'milk' and reflects on teaching her own son to sign. The segment ends with a commenter noting that 'fuck you' and 'thank you' look almost identical in ASL.
Baby Sign Language Backfire: 'Hey Dumbass, Give Me a Beer'
A mom learned ASL from Google images to teach her baby basic needs. In a restaurant, her daughter signed 'alcohol' every time she wanted water, and called her mom 'dumb' instead of 'dad.' Two deaf women at the next table had to break the news.
Baby signed 'dumb' instead of 'dad'
A mother taught her baby sign language from Google images; the baby accidentally signed 'dumb' and 'alcohol' instead of 'dad' and 'drink (water)' due to similar but distinct ASL signs.
