HIFTBK: Body Language

 Have you ever read books or seen videos about body language? People talk about how we can tell what somebody is thinking just by looking at their body language. Well, some of them are true, but there are a few that just don't work for me. For example: Supposedly, if someone is lying, they are likely to avoid eye contact, blink a lot, or attempt to change the subject. Well, I observed this, and found out that these three things are only likely to happen to bad liars. And, unfortunately, we live in a world full of good liars. Secondly, life isn't a movie. Nobody gets shifty eyes or stutters when they're lying. Unless, of course, they really ARE terrible liars. I did realize, though, that lots of liars do add lots of unnecessary details to their story to make it seem more trustworthy. I sometimes do that myself (😛) and so does my twin sister ( sorry, Fern!) . Still, there are some great ways to spot liars. I just haven't found them yet. Oh, and the 'brings their hands to their faces when they're lying' thing? It actually works, for many people. Except for people who touch their face a lot already.
  All right, moving on. I'm not sure if people stiffen when they're nervous or inhales sharply when they're jealous or not. But I'm pretty sure people don't narrow their eyes when they're sly or something. I'm not sure people even do that in movies. Oh, well. Maybe I've just been looking in the wrong places.

HIFTBK: The Pros and Cons of Having Twins Over At your House

   This is a sensitive topic (NOT!!) , so I'll start with quick a explanation. I can write about the cons because I've been to...okay, fine, PLAYDATES ( there, I said it) with my cousin plenty of times before, so I know how it feels. I can also write about the pros for the same reason. And I am a twin.
If you know people who are twins, you will probably be able to relate to this better.
   Pros: 1. Small group..
         Sometimes playing with just two people isn't fun enough. With twins , you will have a nice small group of three. You could have competitions, with one person as the judge. You could even play Cluedo!
           2. Third opinion.
        It's nice to have more than just a second opinion, isn't it? Also, the arguments are more fun.
           3. Decisions
          If you're trying to decide on what to do, and you decide by taking votes, you'll always end up with a fair vote of 2-1! No more rock-paper-scissors!
Cons: 1. Arguments
        A three-person argument may be more fun, but, chances are, the twins will team up against you. And they'll probably knock you down. Literally AND figuratively.
          2. Arguments 2
        Twins have a habit of trying to make sure every single thing they get is divided very evenly among them. So, if they think it's not, they're going to have a huge argument with each other over it, and you're probably going to get stuck in the middle.
        3. Votes
      Ah, twinhood (made-up word)! If you're voting on something, there's an 80% chance that the twins will vote on the same thing and outnumber you completely, 2-1. They'll also have a strong opinion against whatever it was you were voting for, too, and it's Argument all over again.
 
  But, seriously, wouldn't having twins over at your house be fun? You could learn about TWO secrets in one night! Or,like, DOUBLE the amount of secrets you usually learn in a game of Truth or Dare. The sad truth is, we're double fun, but we're also sometimes double trouble. Well, see you next week!
