Mr. Bill's Silent Movie

Yesterday, for no apparent reason, Giselle asked me how people who speak sign language scream. For a split second I was stumped. But then I just explained that they cup their hands on either side of their face while making their mouth into a big 'O' and then they hop around and try to get everybody to see them.

No. I didn't really tell her that. Not that I wasn't tempted. But I did make it clear that the deaf can scream just as well, if not better than anyone else. Except for her. Nobody can scream better than her.

We shampooed the living room and hallway carpets this weekend. The heiroglyphic stain patterns are now artistically muted. Faux aging with an Orek Steemer. It works.
