When one does not understand the material with which one is presented.
Some questions are easier to handle than others.
Questions associated with cultural identity are not so easy. People are always questioning me about my association with the Deaf. Luck is often bestowed upon me when I explain that most of my immediate family, including my parents are Deaf. How fortunate that I did not contract the horrible disease of deafness. As all Codas probably feel, I do not believe I possess such luck.
