high school that always says no to everything.
The sign looks like a mouth saying no. Take
your index finger together with your middle
finger and tap them together with your thumb.

The yes sign looks a head nodding yes.

You take your hand and make it into a
fist, holding it at about shoulder height,
then make your fist bob back and forth.

with fingers extended and held together, and
thumb extended and sticking out. Take the

circle on your chest.

To sign sorry, make your hand into a fist

and rub it in a circular motion across your

with index fingers pointing forward. Then
bending your arms at the elbow, pull your
