Something you REALLY don't want to hear your tax write off child say across a busy birthday party room:Mommy, are this a bad fingers? While holding the two questionable fingers (one on each hand) above her head for all to see.
In an effort to save face, I say (from across the room):Who showed you how to do that?
Answer back from the owner of the questionable fingers P:Ryan!! (a kid in her class, not at the party)
With the her knowledge of 'bad fingers' and her hair cutting skills, P is ready to work in any salon between highways 170 & 70 in St. Louis.
