This week I went to a local restaurant called Chuck-A-Ramas in Lehi Utah. I went with my twin sister and her husband. Seeing that we are all of Polynesian decent, the minute we walked in, we had people's eye on us. It was funny. There was nothing but families there, big and small. There were three families celebrating birthdays, and other families who seemed to just go out for a bite to eat with the family.
I noticed that there were a lot of conversations going on at each table. Some were very loud conversations that dealt with big hand gestures, and their eyes were huge as they expressed their excitement in their story. The other's were more of a quiet setting, with less eye and facial expression, but a lot of nodding with agreement.
Most men, were either leaned back in their chair looking relaxed which means they are very confident and dominate the conversation or leaning back with crossed hands which could indicate some kind of discomfort. The women on each of the tables seemed to be smiling and leaning towards each other as they talked to each other. It seemed they were in agreement with each other seeing that they were leaning towards each other and laughing.
There was a table full of old people. Half of the table was live and active in conversation and I could tell this by the way they were using their hands to tell the story, their eyes were also helping tell their story when they were telling something exciting or telling a story that seemed disgusting to them. The other half looked tired and seemed that they just wanted to leave the restaurant. Those who looked tired had their hands on their hand and their mouths were faced down at the corners. Their eyes were wandering around as the others were communicating verbally and weren't engaged in the conversation at all.
