contextualized "guess who" ;-)

So... you know the whole "guess who" game when a friend runs up behind you and puts their hands over your eyes?? Then commence the minutes of trying to determine by using all your other senses -- who is this person!? Their smell, feel of their hands, sounds, etc.

This afternoon, while leaving from a meeting with a Deaf colleague, a Deaf friend came up behind me and... put their hands over my ears!!

Deaf contextualization in action! I love it!
