Judy was right! I guess her love of reading novels has taught her more than your daily paper. If ya want to catch up to her try reading a Potter book or 2, or 7. A "din" Dad is a welter of discordant sounds. A "simper" is a silly smile. I've seen you give a simper or two. As far as a din...well I won't comment on you various noises.
I think a 'din' is a guy thing...at least in this household!
