The Naughty Finger

By Brian Gotter

Ali has been in a phase where she uses her middle finger to point things out.  It just looks bad...it is amazing how society makes you cringe at things that are so simple like using the wrong finger.

We have been telling her to point with her pointer finger, the index finger..not the middle or "naughty" finger.  It has been very successful, but at times she goes back to using the middle finger and then she quickly realizes and changes the finger she is using.

Now she is into telling you which finger is good and which is bad.  The other day she walked up to me in the kitchen and said:  "Dad, this is my naughty finger."  She was not pointing with it but she was giving me the naughty finger.  She had no idea and it was so funny.  My little girl is fl;flipping the bird.  Soon she will be doing it to bad drivers on the highway.
