Cute, although I don’t think India gives any presents you would really want.
I think India is probably the name of a friend or relative.
So sweet and quiet. If I ever have kids, I want them all to be deaf too. Although, I am aware that most teen-agers go deaf right about the same time as the realize that they are smarter than their parents.

Ok fair enough, but who names thier kid India? Child Protective Services need’s to be brought in here.
I think the point of this Liberal vidio is to make everyone want a deaf kid to play with.
No offense, Knight, but I think you may have torqued your keister a little tight! I don’t think it takes a liberal to marvel at a deaf child communicating.
(Stop wavin’ them hands, you’re givin’ me a headache, kid!)

“I don’t think it takes a liberal to marvel at a deaf child communicating.”
That’s true but I suspect a Liberal agenda behind this particular video, and have to look for the nasty meaning behind the undoubtedly unscrupulous motive. I think the subliminal “India” implant was the tip off.
Do you read sign? Then how do we know that the captions were telling the truth? 🙂

Who names their kid Moonbeam? I live on Vancouver Island and I have seen his drivers license. C’mon there are freaks naming their kids all sorts of idiotic things. India is tame by comparison.
FYI There is a movie actress name China. Frank Zappa named his kids Moon Unit and Dweasal, I have even met people whose name is Dick.
ever met Dick Dick from Brooks?
Definitely inspirational unless one is completely politically jaded. But why name the kid “India” — a place where the dead and diseased bodies of the poor are often abandoned in the street or seen floating down the waterways?
Oh well, I guess “India” sounds more poetic than naming your kid “Liechtenstein”, even if the latter is one of the most desirable places in the world to live. According to Wikipedia:
“Liechtenstein has the second highest gross domestic product per person in the world when adjusted by purchasing power parity, and has the world’s lowest external debt. Liechtenstein also has the second lowest unemployment rate in the world at 1.5%…It is a member of the European Free Trade Association…BUT NOT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION.”
Warms the heart !
She is better at listening and discussing than Gore and Suzuki combined.
Better than most on this thread so far also.
Knew a kid in school whose name was Harry Dick. No joke.
Jesus people. Take the political fangs out once in awhile.
That was sweet. Ya I said it. Doesn’t make me any less of a man.
Later in life, a blind hubby…perfect match
Abe,
Grace Slick, vocalist for the ’60’s acid-rock band “Jefferson Airplane”, named her kid “God” — God Slick.
But naming your American kid after a foreign country is just weird on a different — geo-political — level. What if India goes to war with the backing of the U.S. against Pakistan and the kid travels in Pakistan? Or vice-versa?
India Jones and the Doubting Knight. Sounds like a movie plot to me. Calling Mr Lucas, Mr Spielberg…

I have a friend that has been deaf since birth, her parents put her into language training at two now she can speak as well as sign and she reads lips to boot.
We taught our little one to sign long before she could speak. Now, she communicates much better than her like-aged friends except for, not surprisingly, the daughter of our friend who teaches ASL.
The ability to communicate is there a long time before a kid’s vocal cords develop. It’s amazing how much easier parenting is when your year-old can tell you she’s hungry, thirsty, or wants to look at the cat.
By the way, my first name is also the name of a country, and I’ve never had any issues with it, so who gives a rat’s erse if somebody’s named India?

“…so who gives a rat’s erse if somebody’s named India?”
I dunno, maybe it’s because the name is a feeble attempt at being unique with a descriptive name of something that is so un-unique — a singular country with a seething population of 1.1 billion! Being “meaningful but meaningless” or something along that line…
The other end of the spectrum is people inventing new names, which are becoming impossible to remember much less spell. If you want a unique name for your kid at least borrow from one of the known languages of the world.
Or stick to traditional “Johns” and “Janes”, JMDIO. (Just my dumb irritated opinion).
I miss having those conversations with my kids, when they were two. Now they’re 19 and 21, and they have weird opinions and stuff…
ricardo >
“”meaningful but meaningless” or something along that line…”
Man your nail’n it today.
My irritation is with these armchair culture queens. You know the one’s that see every culture but ours as special and deserving. Like these idiot’s that spend countless hours to go out and learn a few phrases of Mandarin to impress the next Chinese waitress they meet, yet could have used the time and energy to get some computer skills or something actually useful in life.
Is the Chinese waitress who speaks perfectly good English impressed? I think we know the answer to that.
Some of the commentators are extraordinarily cruel. First, the chld’s name is NOT India; India gave the child a gift. Second, one day you, too, may confront a disability and I hope you handle it as well as this family.
These type of posts only diminish the value of this site, which is unfortunate as it usually presents valuable information.
She’s adorable! My 24 month old granddaughter can’t get gramma out, she calls me mama. Seeing this little one communicate so well is intriguing.

I was talking about the “gift giver India” as I believe most commenter were. I believe most agreed the “chld” was “cute”.
Allot of hyper sensitive people seem to have flipped on their computers today. Full moon mabey?
@Knight99 the closet queer.
I’m not, but what possible difference would it be if I were?
You’re a waste of skin.

Heh heh, like I said hyper sensitve/ full moon tonight me thinks.
Knight 99 said: I believe most agreed the “chld” was “cute”.
But did you check out the Mom? Wow, hot, hot, hot!
And give the Cooper kid a break, his first name is probably Alice.
Funny, the 24 month old exhibits more intelligence than either of you. Must be tough to keep all that latent homosexuality inside huh guys?
Sorry Kate. I’m done.
A.Cooper >
Ouch, common man lighten up, lifes too short.
PiperPaul – that was truly witty, and creative.
I found the video absolutely charming, I love watching people communicate via sign language.
I think it’s funny a guy named Ricardo (Never heard of Richard, or Rick, you dirty hippie?) is criticizing a kid’s name and a guy who can’t spell or punctuate worth a damn (Knight 99) is ragging on a parent that’s proud of their kid’s communication.
@ Yukon.
Good points.

“Knight 99) is ragging on a parent that’s proud of their kid’s communication”
No, not at all. I love the little shit.
I’m “ragging” on you dumb ass!
What gets me is the patience of the adult.
I’m ADD and while I do well conversing with toddlers (jumping between subject matters comes naturally to me!), to have to keep my attention on the child in order to see the replies would wear me out in no time. I normally chat away with them while doing something else, splitting my physical attention from my mental/vocal attention.
I really admire that adult and her ability to keep her attention on the child for even such a short time.
@cal2
I believe it is spelled Dick Dyck.
It’s always possible that this mother was an Alannis Morrissette fan, and figured she’d name the kid so that it would be fun teaching her manners. “Thank you, India!”, etc.
