Today, an 8 year old gal asked me a question that left me kinda stumped. Well, it was a question I wasn't really expecting la.

Geraldine: Jie Jie, cannot point the middle finger ah?

Me: Er, why? Somebody pointed the middle finger at you ah? Or you point the middle finger at somebody?

Geraldine: No la. My teacher say cannot point the middle finger. Why cannot?

Me: Er, Ya. When you point the middle finger, you are scolding a bad word. It's not a nice gesture. So, don't point the middle finger ok?

Geraldine: Then we have the middle finger for what?

Me: Er...I'm not sure too. It's just there..
