Part III: Signs for Everyday Life

Figure 8-2: PANTS: Never leave home without ’em.

Here’s the sign:

1. Extend both index fingers and place them, touching, side by side, fingertips pointing down.

2. While keeping your fingers touching, alternate moving them up and down, pointing toward your socks, repeating the motion several times (see Figure 8-3).

Figure 8-3: SOCKS make piggy toes happy.

Shoes

Shoes are big business. Everybody knows that. But did you know baby shoes are big business? You can buy nearly any brand of adult shoes in baby sizes and pay almost as much as you do for your own shoes. This is especially true in the athletic-shoe market.

(No surprise there, eh?)

No matter what kind you choose to put on your baby’s feet, or whether they’re for function or show, the sign for SHOES is the same: 1. Make two fists, thumbs in front.

2. Tap your fists together a couple of times (see Figure 8-4).

Why the tapping? Think of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz click-click-clicking her heels together. Little dog optional.
