This question has come from a post that Gemini rose did... When you talk do you express yourself with your arms and hands.... Hubby waves his around all the time when he talks..mine are more so by my side.

At first, I had to think "what on earth is a gesticulator" Then I got you!! I am not actually and my hubby does not do that too much either. My 7 year old does though, and he uses a lot of facial expressions too. I have some people who go really wild when they talk, I am surprised that they do not take off!!

Coming from an Italian family and Italians being known for using their hands for almost everything we say yes....I can't talk without using my hands and waving my arms around to get a point across!

Yes..Italians are very expressive!!!..but sometimes a conversation can be more dramatically meaningful if there are arms waving about!!!!

Well, I don't use my hands or arms to get my message across. But I think I do a lot of facial expression. My husband expresses himself using hands and one thing bad about him is that when he is driving and talking at the same time, he will unconsciously take his hand off the steering. So, when we are traveling in car, I don't talk to him just to be safe.
