My father told me a story. I don't know if I can say that's an uncanny story, but it results strange and I haven't hear nothing else about it.

There it goes:

An Irish couple adopted an African baby not long time ago. They processed all the documents and this baby was finally an Irish citizen.

The Irish woman realizes she was pregnant and they decided to give back this poor baby!!! It's repugnant!!!

But it doesn't finish in this sad fact. This baby is nowadays in an orphanage and she/he can't go back to her/his country because he/she is an Irish citizen. And in this African country some families are waiting to adopt him/her but they can't, she/he is Irish.

All this is repugnant!!! I couldn't believe this story when I listened but I'm not sure if it's true or not. Can someone help me?

Now we are living in the age of communication: mobile phone, internet, TV...

All these new forms of comunication have shown us that when we are communicating with the rest of the people we don't use only words. Our body is expressing itself at the same time.

What is our body saying about us?

- When we are listening to someone with our hand leaned on our chin we are interested in it.

- When we are doing the same but we have our hand palm leaned on our face it means we are bored, we aren't interested in it.

- When we are covering our mouth constantly we don't agree with the speaker or what he/she is talking about isn't interesting for us.

- When we are touching our nose so often it's a sign of contradiccion. We don't think what we are saying. However, it coukd be a sign of nerves or discomfort.

- When we have our arms folded it shows opposition or a way to go on the defensive.

- When we are with our arms folded but crosslegged too. It's a heavier way to go on the defensive.

- When we are touching our ear frequently it emans, we don't want to listen to what the speaker is saying.

- With our hands crossed behind our head we are showing we feel better than the others.

Sometimes when you are reading a book you read a sentence. You don't know why but it hits you.

"Sometimes I think my mother is part of the modern world and sometimes she seems a million miles away" from Bridget Jones's Diary.

It has happened to all of us hundred of times. And it isn't only with my mother (as Bridget says) but with other people. Sometimes they can understand you and your feelings like they live into your mind but it isn't all the times.

And then this sentence from our last reading book. ""Ray is crew-cut, reliable, myopic; he is full of liquids. He sweats copiously. Small bubbles of clear spit from at the sides of his mouth whenever he speaks at length. Laura imagines (it's impossible not to) that when they make love he must sput rivers... " from The Hours

It's wonderful, isn't it? Yes, I know, it's comical, funny. But the way he describes Ray, his words...

The descriptions in "The hours" are magnificent, you can imagine the characters but not only physically but also their emotions and feelings.
