"Speaking in Tongues?"

       Daughter Elizabeth is in town.  This morning, I let her finish a text message she was sending before I would tell her what I wanted to.

       She pummeled on swiftly both thumbs flying, and it was a LO-O-O-N-N-G message.

       When she finally stopped, I found myself saying, "You have speaking thumbs."

       Her return to me, I think, surprised us both, and it was slick as they come.

       "Speaking in thumbs," she said.
