AUNT Laurie suggested several times before the Twins were born that the Parents teach them sign language to help them communicate before they can speak. Dad agreed with this advice. Aunt Laurie claimed that she had taught her daughter signs for "more" and "no" to indicate whether Cousin Pearl wanted more food or not.
Dad did not know that it would be the Twins that taught him sign language. Instead of adopting his motions and gestures, they came up with their own. Anything they do not want more of, they will clearly hold up their hand as if to indicate "no, stop" in conjunction with turning their head away. Force them to take it anyway, and they will throw the unwanted object down.
Buggy in particular requires the Parents to offer her only a small quantity of food. Load up her tray with food she does not want and it will all end up on the floor. Buddy will just ignore it.
