All right, all right, " he said, with that gesture I'd come to hate: two open palms facing me and patting the air, as if pushing me away, pushing me down, pushing any tears I might be preparing to cry back into their ducts.

About This Quote

When a person pats the air with two hands, it is a sign of annoyance or discouragement. When a person who is engaged in a fight with another person gives out this gesture, it means that the other person is being pressured or pushed away from what he or she wants to do or get done. When a person pats the air as if shoving something away from himself or herself, it means that he or she does not want to have anything to do with that particular thing.
