I remember watching a video clip of Gordon Brown (soon-to-be new British Prime Minister.)

This woman was analyzing his body language.

He was doing the kissing babies thing, but he was quite natural and getting on with the toddlers.

The woman observed that his composure was right, ‘coz kids can spot fakers a mile away.

Thanks for your comments, Dan. Always appreciated…
