hand on her forehead...

Maggie's new thing is putting her hand on her forehead and then hanging her head.
Tonight, she and her brother tried getting candy from the cupboard above the fridge.
When they didn't succeed she came downstairs to get me. I was preoccupied with signing some papers. She began whining and explaining how she could reach said candy. I told her to give me just a second to finish what I was doing and then I would help her. After waiting patiently for all of 3 and half seconds, she grabbed my arm again. She put her hand on her forehead, hung her head and then said, "It's just hopeless."
Pretty sure that you've had 74 pieces of candy tonight, my dear. Hardly hopeless.
