Object: Your index finger

Good morning, boys and girls. The only object that I brought with me this morning is my index finger. It is a talented finger. If I lift it up like this, I might be saying, "We're number one!" Or I might point it like this and say, "Isn't that a pretty dress?" Or I may wiggle it like this. What does that mean? That's right. "Come here."

If I place my finger in front of my lips like this, what does it mean? That's right. "Shhh... Be quiet."

Life is really not fair. Just a few years ago…
