My Grandmother would never let a us nod our head or shrug to answer her questions. If we did she would tell us that she didn't listen for rocks to rattle. As I got older I referred to my thoughts this way. If I had a lot going on I would say that I couldn't think because the rocks were rattling too loud. If I needed to think I would say that I just need to let the rocks rattle. If I wanted to know what someone was thinking I would tell them don't just sit there and let the rock rattle. So this is my place to put words to all my rattling rocks
