Sign Language Complaint

I'm trying to speak to Sister Lauren, please.

Uh Sister Lauren, this is Brother Davis from the church.

I don't know if you know me.

You might know me when you see me, but I don't know if you just know me because we don't really interact that much at the church, but I wanted to give you a call.

We got a a bit of a problem going on.

Okay.

Okay, you got you get do you have a minute to talk?

Well, apparently so, huh?

All right.

Now, how how long have you been doing the uh the sign?

You in the you know, you in the ministry where you do the sign language for the church, and um, you know, I I noticed you up there at least two Sundays out of uh um out of the month.

You've been doing it quite a while, am I right?

So y yes, I've been doing it for over ten years, but I'm a little bit confused as to why they're calling about this.

I'm I'm I'm just a little bit confused.

I don't know who you are.

You say that I if I see your face, I may know you, but I oh what what does it have to do with anything of how long I've been doing sign language?

I know how long I've been doing it for years.

So how how may I help you with this?

Do you want to do it?

Okay, so

no, no, I'm not trying to learn any sign language.

Do you do you know Miss Um Everybody call her Miss Myrtle?

Do you know Miss Myrtle?

Uh yeah, I sure do.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

So Miss Myrtle, that's that's that's that's that's one of my aunties right there, Miss Murder Liz.

Okay, and she gave you my number to call me.

I'm I what what do you need for me?

Did she give me a?

No, no, no, that's what I'm getting at.

So so you know you know my you know my aunt is is deaf.

You know she's here in your parents, you know that, right?

Okay, yes.

Uh-huh.

Okay, so so here's a problem.

Ain't ain't Myrtle is telling us that you're not doing the sign language right doing the service, and like you missing some things in the script.

No, no, no.

No.

No, no, no.

That's incorrect.

I've been doing this for a very long time and I know what I'm doing.

So how do you so she told you for me to tell me that I'm not doing the sound language correctly?

That's what it's saying.

Let me say let me say this to you.

I I don't want us to get off on the wrong, but let me just say this to you.

Once my once my murder told us what was going on, you know, we then went to one of the deacons and asked him, you know, is there a way we can uh have a meeting, you know, with with Sister Lauren so we can try to get this taken care of and and talk about it.

He said, Well, won't you just won't you just call and y'all can just work it out?

And and that's how I'm I'm I'm calling you now.

Um I I hope you I don't know if you're at work or whatever.

I apologize, but I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it.

Now let me go and say this.

Well, if my aunt murder says that you ain't signing right, then my ain't lying.

That means your ass excuse me.

That means you ain't signing right.

Really?

So the pastor couldn't come to me, but he but you figured you would just call me and tell me that your auntie says that I'm doing it correctly.

That doesn't make sense to me.

How did she tell you that?

Did she sign it to you?

She signed language to her daughter.

My my listen, you ain't got to worry about who she's signing to.

What you need to worry about is getting your sh getting your stuff together, all right, and learning how to do this the correct way so that my ain't can get, you know, my any needs to be getting the word like everybody else getting the word, but she not getting it, because you, the words getting lost in your hands.

All I'm hearing is your voice is getting very loud, and you need to match my tone, young man.

Okay, let's start with that.

What you mean?

Match your man.

Match your tone, young man.

What is that?

Match my tone.

Because you're getting very loud, and I can't hear through all of that.

All right.

Okay.

So I'm sorry.

Okay, well,

I am trying to do the situation.

You called my phone, correct?

You have a problem that you're discussing with me, but you're getting more angry than anything else.

How am I going to resolve?

This problem.

I am trying to be as cordial as a big thing.

The way you resolve this problem is carry your ass back to science school so you can learn what you need to, so my ain't can get the word.

My ain't can't get the gospel because you messing it up.

God anointed me to do sign language at that church, and I've been doing this for a long time, and I will continue to do so.

So don't call my phone telling me that I'm not doing something right.

You know what I'm saying?

But do God know that you're not doing it right?

Do God know that?

Does God know that my aim Myrtle not getting the word because of you?

Jesus, please give me the strength to continue on with this conversation.

But you know what, Lord?

I'm gonna be right back.

Little, let me tell you something.

Don't you ever call my mother freaking phone telling me I ain't doing something.

Man, if I see you in this tree, this king I have is gonna go upside your damn head.

Did I make myself clear?

I cannot believe you talking to me like this.

Oh, now you want to be calm.

Now you're calm.

Now you match my tone.

I don't gave you a couple of things.

I can't believe you just got you talking to me like that.

Are we done here?

So you think it's cool for you to tell the Lord, I be right back.

Thank you, Lord.

I needed a moment.

I told you to match my tone.

Match my tone.

I am matching your tone.

No.

Can I say, can I can I give you something else in this tone?

Do you mind if I say something in this tone?

You're gonna hear a click and a die real quick.

Go ahead.
