    Dumb, you wouldn't require as much assistance then if you were deaf or blind, you could get on with your normal life except...you'd just need one of those etch-a-sketch boards with you lol (or learn sign language)

    P.S. People would think you were a great listener lol

  • Dumb.

    1- I don't want to lose either of the other senses

    2- I can still communicate by writing on paper

    3- If I was deaf, it wouldn't even matter if I could speak, because I wouldn't be able to hear myself.

    4- People might THINK I'm deaf, and then I can eavesdrop of their conversations and get all the gossip!

    I would be dumb. Because there are ways of talking with out words. But it would be hard to never see my friends, family and all the beautiful things that are in the world. And it would be really hard to never hear someone say my name or anything again.

    Blind cause there isn't much that I want to see in this world because things are so messed up in the world and I don't like watching it

    well i dont want to be blind because im scared of not knowing whats in front of me, as in, in the dark and that kind of thing.

    and if i was deaf, at least i could still see all hte beauty around me.

    A person who can't talk isn't called a "dumb" they are called a "mute". I'd rather be mute.

    dumb,

    i could still communicate and hear you so i would understand everything.

    blind-never ever,because i would miss out on the worlds beauties,

    deaf- there are so many things to hear.
