A seven year-old daughter came home from school one day, held up her middle finger, and asked Mom what it meant. Mom was so shocked that she could just say that "Shame on you" and raised the middle finger repeat, followed by advise that "If anyone does that to you, just say, 'Shame on you' to that person."

A few weeks later Mom, Dad and daughter were at the dinner table when Dad let out a huge belch. Mom reprimanded Dad by saying, "Shame on you."

Imagine Dad's shock when the daughter held up her middle finger, showed it to him, and exclaimed,

"Mom, you forgot to give Daddy the middle finger 'shame on you' sign, Mom."
