In cards it is called a player tells.it a little hint that gives away your hand.We all have them.maybe it is a raised eye brow or a way they smile.it my be a word or placing of the hands.My mom's was if she used all three of my names. I better get to doing what ever she was asking me to do.my dad was a raised eye brow.I still remember that after 50 years.with my wife she better not have to tell one of the grand kids something more then two times because on the third time it's going to count.what is your spouse's tells?

Yes, my tell tell signs of doing this ot that to get what I want done. I don't like having to say anything more than 3 times. I'll ask someone to do something(the Kids) and if they don't respond in a timely manner, I will repeat myself once more then on the third time I will satrt counting. They know I had better not reach the number "10" in my count or they are in deep trouble. The same goes for anything else. If I ask someone not to do something and have to repeat myself, the third time I'm really mad. I'll get in a state that no one really wants to see me get in. It means they are in trouble.

Hi,,RockCollector,,I can't remember if I had any or not, it has been so many years ago since my children were little and now my memory is not too good. I don't think my mother and Dad had to do anything,we always did what we were told back then, many,many years ago,lol..I remember my children usually did what they were told to do without too much trouble. Bless you.
