talk to the hand

Years ago, when my eldest niece was in her early or mid-teens, I remember saying something to her while we were seated in the living room of my mother's house during a family gathering. Boring adult that I am, I'm sure that what I had to say wasn't exactly scintillating or very interesting.

Now, she was being more playful than anything (I think), but at one point she held up her hand and said, "Talk to the hand!" I remember not being offended, but decided to try something else... I started focusing on her hand and seriously talking to it. And after a moment of two, she got icked out and said, "Ooh, stop that!"

Score one for the adult!
