Jesus and the middle finger

So, I have 16 (I think, at last count) nephews and nieces. They range from in their 20's to just born in February. There are 6 girls and 10 boys.

So, one of my nephews (who will be in 4th grade this fall) hurt his middle finger on his left hand. When I asked him to show me which finger hurt, he did. But, not in the naughty way. He pointed it down, not up.

His brother (who will be in 2nd grade this fall) yelled, "It's his flip off finger!".

His mother got after him for saying that. That's not the funny part.

Ronald (the 2nd grader) then informed us that there was nothing wrong with saying that because that finger is what Jesus gave it to us for.

I laughed out loud. I'm not sure where they got that from. They're not exactly religious.

Kids . . . what are you going to do with them?
