We were on our annual beach vacation for the last 2 weeks.  It was the usual combination of naps, beach sitting, beach walking, wave riding, pool swimming and general relaxation.  We go with another family who includes Mom and Dad and three teenagers.  The eldest teenager decided that she was not going to speak for a day.  Her options for communicating were a pad of paper and cute little signs.  The very same signs I posted last week.

Of course, her self imposed silence didn’t last for long.  On average it lasted a few hours.  Then she’d try again the next day.

On way to get me to shut my mouth?  Give me a book and sit me here.
