As most kids eventually do, William asked what it meant to hold up one's middle finger. Without going into detail, I explained that it was a curse on someone that we should never use, that it was very bad. He thought a minute and held up his pinkie finger. And what does it mean, he asked, if you hold up this finger? Well, I don't think it means anything, I told him. He then informed me that SpongeBob says it means you are being "fancy".
Now I know.

Never doubt the all-knowing Spongebob.
Oops. Sorry about that one. I believe my boys have been "educating" your son.

I haven't been commenting much lately, but I am enjoying reading your blog. Just thought I'd let you know...
By the way, holding up the middle finger means, "You're number one!"
Travis: I read a post once about "I am Squidward. I'll have to find that an post it. That explains my attitude to SpongeBob.
Anonymous: I know who you are and where you live!
Arby: No sweat. I've been without power this week and roughing it. I'm amazed that you can blog at all given the Boss is gone and you are handling it all! As for finger numbers, please do not email my son this information.
