My wife asked her mother to come and visit with her in the celestial room after she died and tell her where to find genealogical information on an ancestor. After her mother died, my wife waited expectantly in the temple for her visit. Nothing. She continued to wait and expect a visit from her mother each time she went to the temple. Nothing.
One time she was in the dressing room preparing to return home. Suddenly a weird phrase came to her mind. It was "Waddle, waddle, hitch and twitch!" Very strange!
She asked some other women there if they had any idea what this phrase meant. No one else had ever heard it. Some time later, my wife remembered her very first Primary talk when she was very young. Her mother helped her to tell the story of a crab who criticized all the other crabs for the clumsy way they walked, and told them they should walk as gracefully as he did. And then he left them with "A waddle, waddle, hitch and twitch."
My wife concluded her mother had probably been trying to get through to her without success, and so she "poked" her with this message from the past.
