I've been on an extended visit to Pittsburg doing a family gig, one activity being the celebration of my great nephew Boomer's 4th birthday. After digging in to his cool Spiderman cake, he received a few lessons from the old folks on how to hold up four fingers and, darn it, this task wasn't as simple as it sounded. He counts aloud quite well, but getting those fingers to cooperate was something else.
He started confidently enough, with his hand wide open. "Now, put your thumb behind your fingers," his mom instructed. A cinch. Well, you can see the results.
Eventually, he hid the thumb with his other hand in order to get the correct result. It's not so easy being four years old.
