And the day arrived...

And the day arrived...the day Luca asked me who was going to take his implants off so he can hear like me. I thought he had to be a bit older to come to this common conclusion in deaf children, but we talk so much about so many topics that he figured this one out pretty quick. I had to break the bad news, in a good way, or at least I tried. I told him that he would ALWAYS have those COOL (his favorite word) implants, just like I need to wear glasses sometimes, and maybe if new ones come out he might have them too, who knows. He is always a happy camper and when he doesn't know what to say or is not the kind of answer he was hoping for, he changes the subject talks about something else. But he did mentioned that maybe his abuela might get a hearing aid and then they will be the same, he was excited to be like her, to belong to the abuela group.

Y el dia llego...el dia que Luca me pregunto que quien le iba a quitar sus implantes para que pudiese oir como yo. Pense que tendria que ser algo mayor para llegar a esta conclusion comun entre ninhos sordos, pero hablamos tanto de todo que creo que ha averiguado esto pronto. Tuve que darle la mala noticia, de la mejor manera posible, o por lo menos lo intente. Le dije que el SIEMPRE tendria esos implantes tan CHULISIMOS (su palabra favorita), igual que yo a veces tengo que usar gafas, y quizas si unos nuevos salen al mercado pues puede que tambien los tenga, quien sabe. Siempre se conforma cuando no sabe que decir o le doy una respuesta que no es la deseada, cambia de tema y habla de otra cosa. Pero dijo que quizas su abuela se ponga un audifono y entonces seran iguales, estaba contento de ser igual que ella, de pertenecer al grupo de la abuela.

And this is the way he will conquer the world with his implants, just like superman, diving into life.

Y asi es como conquistara el mundo con sus implantes, como superman, sumergiendose de cabeza en la vida.
