Quotable Quinn

Posted by Pierce in News on February 20th, 2007

There are some very African and perhaps specifically Babwisi nonverbal ways of communicating. One is pointing with one’s lips. Another is the raise of the eyebrows that signals an affirmative answer.
We haven’t quite started lip pointing yet (just give us time!) but we certainly use our eyebrows quite a bit more than ever before.
Quinn was asking me a question today, and since I was having a conversation with David I found it handy to employ (quite subconsciously) the raised eyebrows, meaning, “yes.”
Quinn said, oh-so-politely; “Mommy, please use words, I don’t speak eyebrow.”
