the day she shuts up. (finally.)
I’m on my 14th hour of voice rest, 10 more to go… which means ABSOLUTELY NO TALKING AT ALL. (not even a whisper! It’s quite harsh on the larynx already, as it is.)
I feel like two things: a mime (a bad one, at that) who manages to gain sympathy from mommaye dearest, and tickles daddy’s funny bones ( you’re so chatty usually that you’re TERRIBLE at miming. I’ve got no idea what you’re gesticulating. CUTE! (: ), also annoyed by her sister’s antics. (What’s that? I CAN’T HEAR YOU….. =p)
Well. DIGERIDOO to you too.
The second thing I feel like: an oompa-loompa on OVERDRIVE, and put on mute.
After GESTICULATING FRANTICIALLY for half an hour, having some wild, (not to mention, impromptu) game of ‘Charades’, I decided to stick to good ol’ pen and paper.
(No, seriously. How would you act out: “I’m on voice rest for 24 hours, and that means shutting up COMPLETELY.”)
Well. As always, there’s stuff to learn from this experience:
1) You know about the pair of Nikes and the new schoolbag I wanted for next year?
(Bad time to try asking for it from Dad… He can’t hear you!)
2) A great time to test if you guys in the family have the skills of non-verbal communication.
(the rents and the sib did SO well, I’m thinking about extending the voierest period. (:)
3) A good test of your ability to express yourself.
(Really. Shut up COMPLETELY for a day and see how THAT feels.)
4) You get to put yourself in the shoes of the mute.
(Life’s REALLY tough for em. They prolly get bullied/ taken advantage of just because they can’t speak. Or sing. Or ask for that really great pair of Nikes and that smashing bag.)
5) My sis REALLY knows me.
(She could differentiate my different quizzical brow looks; The “oh yeah?”, “And, since when?”, “So WHAT?” kind of thing. I knew cos she responded in sequence to my looks. Stupid, but yes: We were arguing about MY polo Ralph toiletries bag.)
Will blog again soon. I’m just SO TIRED out by the whole flu thing. Hope you guys don’t get sick. And oh yes:
HAVE YOU DONE YOUR HOMEWORK?
(:
