Where does FATHER come up in conversation?
FATHER pairs with MOTHER in nearly every conversation that mentions family. Expect it when signers introduce their parents, tell childhood stories, or ask about yours. The kinship signs form a tight set, and this one sits near the center.
It arrives with the rest of the family vocabulary in Lesson 25, Book 1.
