The Snap and Point

My friend Raelynn is a clean, organized, amazing I can-do-anything freak.  You should know that I am not any of these things.  If you have spent any time reading my blog, I'm sure you've figured that out.  The good thing about Raelynn is that she still likes me even though I'm not like her.  She has taught me many great things, one being the snap and point.  I've almost mastered it.  This is not to be confused with the bend and snap which under no circumstances should be done in primary while doing stretching songs according to the handbook.  Ah, but that's another story. 

The snap and point is just what it sounds like, you snap and point.  You should do this after you say something like, "Go clean your room," or "Not until you've finished your homework," or "Get your finger out of your sister's eye."  It's impressive and daunting if you do it right.

Although I can now snap and point pretty well, (it takes a fair amount of coordination), I do not get the same results as Raelynn.  People MOVE when she does the SnP.  Wars are ended, houses are cleaned, broken hearts are mended, the universe comes together.  It's a beautiful thing.  When I do the SnP, I get eye rolling, heavy sighing and yes, laughter.  Mostly my own. I asked Raelynn how she first came up with the snap and point.  She said that when she gets frustrated or angry, all the blood rushes to her finger and out comes a snap and a point, like a perfect spell coming from Hermione's wand.  That woman (Raelynn) rocks.

I on the other hand, when I get angry or frustrated, must have a great deal of blood rushing to my back-side because I just want to sit and eat chocolate.  That is why my snap and point is not truly effective.  It is the snap and point of a  Neville Longbottom.  But he turns out all right in the end.

Raelynn's snap and point looks something like this.  Intimidating.

Okay, this is not me, but if I did take a picture of my snap and point, it would look something like this.  Confusion, bewilderment. . .is this thing loaded???
