I hear that some folks teach their babies to use sign language these days. We're lucky. We don't have to do that! Seung Yi is teaching us sign language. Her are the signs we know already:
| sign |
meaning(s) |
| scrunchy nose (accompanied by 'snuffling' noise, so I guess it's not exactly just a sign but what the hey) |
I am not amused.
I grow weary of your pathetic attempts to entertain me.
You are a tiresome, weasel-like creature.
Pick me up. Now. |
| whacking of palms of hands on thighs, usually during diaper changing |
I love that Akon song, "Smack That".
I don't care if it's appropriate or not, Mum, because Pa sings it to me all the time.
I do want to creep into a Lamborghini!
But the Eminem, he does not please me. |
| smacking of palms of hands together (accompanied by 'clapping' noise) |
Lo!
My grandmother has taught me how to bring my hands together in a synchronized manner.
Is she not brilliant?
Am I not a student of incredible perspicacity?
All hail me. |
| squidging together of the thumb and forefinger in a pinchy motion |
I seek the nipple.
Humble friend, might you direct me towards it? |
| sitting up on knees, bouncing |
I find I enjoy this "music" that you are playing, Pa.
It makes me want to...move...and to...dance!
Strum! Play on! |

The fan is on! The fan is on! The fan is on! The fan is on! Mum, Mum, the fan is on! Check it out! The fan is on! The fan is on! Can you see, the fan is on! The FAN! |
