  • Everyone knows the meaning of this chin-grasp. It is used mostly by older siblings or parents, and it means, "Stop that! Pay attention!" When I first looked at this photo, it spoke to me as clearly as the grasp itself with one very important difference…this time I was smiling. This is a lovely moment - where the photographer and a camera were obviously paying attention.
