W.E.M.L.

Maddie is teaching me sign language – at least one four-character phrase. You extent the three fingers between the thumb and pinky, and spread them. First you point them upward, then to the left, then downward, then make an ‘L’ with your thumb and forefinger and put it on your forehead. She demonstrates this for me a lot. 

She usually demonstrates it for me after I tell her to do something (piano, homework, get up, etc.), but doesn't tell me what it means. Hmmm. W-E-M-L.

  1. This is not American Sign Language. And I'm sure the L stands for "loser", which you are not. Hmmm
    She must be close to 13, I think that is when it begins.

  2. It stands for 'WhatEver Major Loser!'
    Sometimes she narrates for the sign language-impared.
