Hand signals

I still haven't gotten a picture of it, but Samson is prone to doing the "rock out" fingers at the drop of a hat now. Sometimes --- like when he punctuates grace before dinner with it --- it's less appropriate than others.

But it's always funny.

Vicki added a wrinkle to the whole thing when she told him that in addition to being the sign for rocking out, the thumb, pointer, pinky combo means "I love you" in American Sign Language.

Which set the stage for a kind of Tyler Durden exchange Sam had with himself in his car seat while Vicki was driving the kids to the store.

Sam (in guttural rock voice): "Rock ouuutt"

Sam (in regular voice): "No, it's I love you."

Sam (in grv): "Rock ouuuttt"

Sam (in rv): "No. I love you."

We need to start filming this stuff.
