Lately I’ve been thinking about how simple life was back in kindergarten. Yeah I know, I’m going WAY back here, but bear with me. :-D I started school for the first time shortly after I had been diagnosed with a profound hearing loss, and sentenced to wear clunky hearing aids that might as well have…
