When the bell rings and recess is over all the kids run to their lines. I was standing on the side of the playground talking to a teacher when all the kids starting running our way. The girls that I interpret for were on the other side of the playground, noticed the other kids running and started running themselves. I saw they were on their way, so I went back to talking. When I looked back I saw that one of the girls had fallen. So I went over to see what had happened, she scraped her wrist and her knee and had 2 adults and about 20 kids all gathered around to try to talk to her. I got there and everyone dispersed to their classrooms. Her wrist was pretty scratched up so I decided to take her to the nurse to get a band-aid.

When we walk in to the nurses office, the girl is still crying.

Nurse to girl “What happened?”
Without answering she goes in and just sits on the bench
Nurse again to girl “What is your name?”
Me: “She is deaf and can’t hear you.”
I start to sign when the nurse says “Oh” then a little louder “COMO TE LLAMAS?”

I wanted to say she is equally deaf in Spanish as she is in English, but I didn’t.
