I love to observe children, the way they talk and express themselves. 'Talk to my hand' is something I heard my son and his friends say. Even when I was in the U.S. attending college, it used to be a favorite snub for comments that we didn't appreciate. So I incorporated it into the act. I never imagined it would become so popular.
