To make the sign where, take your dominant hand in the D handshape with your palm facing outward. You are going to wiggle your finger side to side a few times. For this sign you will need to have your eye brows down when using it.
Sign 'bathroom' first, then sign 'where' by wiggling your index finger side to side. Make sure to furrow your eyebrows to show it is a question.
Point to the person to sign 'you,' sign 'live,' and finish with the 'where' sign, keeping your eyebrows down the entire time to ask the question.
Sign 'my,' then 'keys,' and end the sentence with the 'where' sign. Remember to hold the 'where' sign and keep your eyebrows lowered to prompt a response.

In ASL, facial expressions act as grammar. Lowering your eyebrows (furrowing them) is the standard rule for asking 'Wh-questions' like who, what, when, where, and why. It signals to the other person that you are asking a question that requires more than a yes or no answer.
You should always use your dominant hand to sign 'where.' If you are right-handed, use your right hand; if you are left-handed, use your left. Consistency with your dominant hand helps make your signing clear and natural.
In ASL, question words like 'where' typically go at the very end of the sentence. For example, instead of signing 'Where is the car?' in English word order, you would sign 'Car where?' while lowering your eyebrows.
