This is so thumb can keep all the other digits in check. It is helps that a child can identify a finger with a number, if you start with thumb, by number three, generally the other fingers open up and the children can't put a number to a finger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593772661578446066.post-65134252573315848632009-04-24T22:00:00.000-07:002009-04-24T22:00:00.000-07:00Okay, now I'm DYING to know if you've learned the ...Okay, now I'm DYING to know if you've learned the 2 fingers upside down sign?

American Sign does do it a bit different too, but I think 1 and 2 are the same and then for 3 you go to the thumb but I could be wrong on that.

VERY VERY southern california.... as in, I am 5 miles above the mexican border kind of southern. I felt like I should do a "little differences" post of my own. Here the traffic lights are crazy..... in most places the left turning lanes go first, like the order of the lights I mean, then they go yellow then red and the straight lanes (opposing) go for a while... Here it seems totally random.
