The Mental Shrug.

I'm pretty sure all of you know my brother Samuel. But just in case you don't. Here is a short overview of him: Samuel, He and I were the hardest ones to raise! And we both have a love of annoying Sarah! Only I have more opportunity to do so then him. Now there is much more to him then this, but this is all you need to know for this story! Now, Concerning Mental Shrugs. One night, about a year ago. Sam and Aimee were down here with their kids. And some time after dinner we were all sitting down at the table, just chatting. Well, all except Sarah who was reading (what else does she do?) a Star Wars book. No big surprise there. That was until Samuel got up. And as he passed by her chair he started reading over her shoulder. "What is a mental shrug?" Samuel asked. "Don't know!" was the only reply he recieved. "Why do you want to know?" asked Mother. "I was just trying to figure out if it was rasing of the eybrows, or flairing of the nostrils, or some combination of the two." replied Samuel. "Yeah, but it's Star Wars so it has to be something weird!" Sugested Daniel. "That's true. Maybe the trick is that they make the other guys shrug for them!" Concluded Samuel. "Ah, yes, that has to be it!" Agreed Daniel. "Yeah!" everyone else agreed. "Yeah, that's when they wave their hand and the other guy shrugs his shoulders." said Daniel. "That's the last time I let you read over my shoulder!" Sarah said while in midlaugh. And for the rest of the night, that was all we could talk about. That, and Samuel kept threatening to come up into our bed and read to us from Sarah's Star Wars book. (thankfully he did not!) And so, now you all know what a mental shrug is. Not what you expected huh? But that's the Crank family for you. Well until next time...
