Mmmmmm, I can smell something delicious baking…. It must be Grand ma’s famous cookie recipe…also known as the, The Body Language Recipe…. (Okay, not quite but I promise you it’s goooood.)
In the last chapter you learnt how to read body language according to the Body Language Triangle™ . It’s pretty revolutionary right? Almost as simple as the invention of the paperclip… In the coming days you should start to use those laser sharp eyes of yours to watch what every single living human being is doing with their bodies and then look it up on the Body Language Dictionary.

Sooner or later your brain will start to remember and you won’t need to analyze every. single. movement. that. every. person. Makes. Because that gets pretty exhausting after a while.

If your teenager promises that they won’t get up to anything naughty that night, you can check the truth of that statement right then and there. Pretty magical stuff I tell you.
So without further adieu, let’s start baking….
