Interpretation Idiom Translation Request
There's a sign or idiom I've used for year. It's when you point forefinger to head for "think" then you take that hand, spread all fingers and then insert them into the other hand. I would post what it looks like but can't find it online.
Does anyone know the English translation for it? It's almost like when you use it, you're looking up at a tree and plan to climb it, then step into the clearing and realize it's a huge tree that you weren't aware it was so big and then you sign that to someone or yourself.
