Deconstruction

On friday I had a conversation about what it really means to be angry with my 11 year old sister. It started with me asking what angry mean to her as she expressed her feelings about some kid. She said it was when your mad at some one and then said mad was when you were annoyed and then kept using the same words to describe other annoying which was obnoxious which became annoying again. Finally she called me annoying and left giving me strange looks. She couldn't describe what she meant. She had to resort to repeating herself over and over again. She thought I was crazy until we finished and I told her what was going on, then she laughed. The truth of the matter is she could not explain what angry really is with the words we are given to sigify our thoughts and feelings.
