Staunton parents’ deafness no barrier for kids

Feta Fernsler answered emails on his phone and Rowan, 4, and Surina, 7, looked at Star Wars Legos as they waited for their mom to grab some groceries at Target.

“I hate coming to Target,” Feta said, as the crowds streamed past and his kids chatted with friends passing by. “I’m so bored. I always end up on my phone.”

When Erin Fernsler caught up with them, Rowan didn’t want to go. He looked up at his dad and moved his fingers in the same motion over and over again.

“Why? Why? Why?” he asked, while signing the word.

“Because it’s time to go,” Feta signed back.

Rowan isn’t deaf. Neither is Surina. Feta and Erin are though.
