so...it's not a thumb then?

Had to laugh at E this morning. He calls his thumbs "big pinkies." He was playing with some Chinese handcuffs - you know, the weaved finger things where they get stuck and the only way to get them out is to push in, the exact opposite of what you'd think to do. He was choosing which fingers to use and went to put his thumb in, but stopped and said...

                    "Oh. I can't use my big pinkie."

I thought it was so funny, I had to hear him say it again.

           "So what do you call that finger again?"

                               "It's my big pinkie...Bwennan!"
