My 7-year-old daughter came home from school one day, held up her middle finger, and asked me what it meant.
I was so shocked that I could say only, “Shame on you,” followed by, “If anyone does that to you, just say, ‘Shame on you’ to that person.”
A few weeks later we were at the dinner table when my husband let out a huge belch. I reprimanded him by saying, “Shame on you.” Imagine my husband’s shock when my daughter held up her middle finger, showed it to him, and exclaimed,“Mom, you forgot to give Daddy the ’shame on you’ sign.”
