Foot Stomping & Eye Rolling
Effective Ways to Upset Your Parents?
Stomp. Stomp. Have you ever done this? If you had a video of your stomping,
you'd probably laugh. It's not the best way to get what you want. Have
you ever seen a two year old do this?
And you've most likely rolled your eyes, too. Rolling your eyes is another
way of saying, "I don't like this" or "I think this is re-ally
stupid" or "I simply can't believe this."
There's a real art to eye rolling. Just watch a teenager who didn't
get his or her way. Usually the head and upper body turns away from the
people the teen is talking with, a knee bends slightly, and then the eyes
roll every so slowly.
My foot stomping rule: Never, never stomp your feet unless you
are doing a foot stomping dance. Think of how strange you look.
My eye rolling rule: Eye rolling is only effective if your eyes
need exercise. Then it feels great. It won't help you in an argument, and
it won't make you feel better then. Use a mirror to watch yourself rolling
your eyes. Weird.
You could produce a really funny computer presentation on the art of
eye rolling and/or foot stomping. Make the presentation show how silly
it looks to do these things that result in Manners Madness.
