THAT'S NOT FAIR
My grandson protested to his mother "IT’S NOT FAIR!" Of course he doesn’t know what "fair" is yet, but saying "It’s not fair!" somehow gives him a reaction and some leverage.

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
I remember as a child that my mother could speak volumes without opening her mouth. I could tell if she was upset with me from a block away. Hands on hips, head tilted to the left, eyes staring a hole in me. Or I could be somewhere and catch her eyes across a room and she

It was a dark & sullen morn, as several women approached the tomb,

SHOUTING THE GOOD NEWS?
