Yo-Yo Bird

Josh comes walking into my bedroom.

Josh: Which finger is my middle finger?  Is it this one?

You can imagine the scene I beheld as I turned around to discover Josh with both hands - and middle fingers - up.

Me: Umm... yes.  Those are your middle fingers.

Josh (holding one finger up higher and out to me): Can you help me put the yo-yo on it?

You can also imagine the conversation that we then had about inappropriate hand gestures and cultural mores.

Josh: But why?  Why is it bad?

Me: It just is. That's just the way things are.

Josh: (Holding up both fingers - again - in a rather plaintive manner.) But how will I yo-yo?!  HOW CAN I YO-YO?!!?
