When I Was Young I Knew I

We Had A Dog, Apples. He Was 13 Years Old, Toothless, Blind And Had The Worst Breath This Side Of Jabba The Hut. But He Was The Sweetest Dog, And I Cried And Cried When He Died.

I Listen To Billy Joel. He Is Fabulous. I Saw Him With Elton John When They Toured Together, It Was So Great.

I Got A Good Handshake. A Lot Of Executives Tell Me I Have The Best Handshake In Hollywood.

I Learned To Speak First, And Then To Sign. I Have Never Really Known What It Was Like To Hear, So I Cant Compare Hearing Aids To Normal Hearing.
