Sometimes it's easier to be with someone who is deaf because we have the same problem. We know how to talk to each other. Kim knows how I feel, and I know how she feels. This year, I joined the basketball team. Everybody on the team can hear fuck me. When I meet new people, and they don't know I'm deaf,
It makes me scared. It's hard to make friends because I think they'll be afraid of me. Maybe they won't understand me or treat me. Got it! I know I will always be dead, but that's okay with me. I'm doing okay. Puppies, don't shake the rabbit. Let's find the rabbit. our zoom guest mary buck is here with us in the studio today to play a game with us this game was sent in by katie reich of roxanna illinois it's called thimble race

Get up. I go with the hearing children.
So you went last year to a special school, and this year you don't. Is it hard there at the regular school with hearing children? I have a problem with hearing children when they talk too fast or something like that. When they turned around and talking, I couldn't understand them, which is really wrong. Mary, how did you learn to talk? Well, when I was little, and my mother, my mother teach me how to talk when I had earrings on. And my teacher was teaching me how to talk, and my speech teacher would help me to speak. How many brothers and sisters do you have? I have three brothers and one sister. Are they all older than you?
I am younger, but all the women are older. Mary, in the film, I saw you and your brother racing and that he cheated. Does he treat you just like a regular sister and cheat and starts to race with you fairly? Or does he let you win because you're here? What she is trying to say is, do they treat you special, like let you win and stuff when you play games or something? I do play a game with my sister, and sometimes my brother Kevin because sometimes I don't like him because he always wins and I always lose. Well, he treats you like a regular sister. Well, everyone I meet says big brothers are paintings in my back, and I am a big brother. I am the oldest in my family. I have one small brother who beats me up sometimes.
We're gonna roll out the barrels And to find out what's inside too late. Dear Joom, try this bear, take a penny and see how many people can touch it without touching each other at the same time.

- Series Description
- "ZOOM is a children's show comprised of weekly half-hour episodes which showed what youngsters do and think. Seven ZOOMers hosted each episdoe, and the cast changed over run of series. ZOOM premiered locally as ""Summer-Do"" in 1970, and premiered nationally in January 1972. ZOOMers played games, told jokes, riddles (called Fannee Doolees) and stories and did crafts projects...and invited ideas from their audience. The result was an avalanche of ZOOMmail - in the first season, over 200,000 letters. Additionally, the Ubbi Dubbi language was invented by ZOOM."
