Read my hands – I want more curry

I rarely see Reid using any of sign language any more, I can’t remember the last time she signed “milk”. That makes me sad since it was her first word in either English or American Sign Language (other than Mama and Dada). When she feels strongly about something not ending and argues, I sometimes will sign “all done” to emphasize my point. Reid is most likely to sign, “more”. She uses it for emphasis to a fully-formed verbal sentence. I was reminded of this at supper Sunday when we were eating curry. Reid ate quite a big serving and asked for, “More durry mama” as she signed madly. Like there was a chance that she wouldn’t be getting seconds. In fact, she asked for and received a third helping.  Curry is yummy in many languages, I guess. I’ll have to find out what the sign is for curry, I guess.
