  It just dawned on me...you can't give someone the finger if you are wearing mittens.
  This may be of little importance to some of you in warm areas, but this bothers/intrigues me. If I wanted to flip a bird while wearing mittens the person I am sending it to would just think I am angrily waving at them, and then the padded wagon of doom would come.

  Would More Mittens in our society qwell road rage?

  I was also pondering skipping...I haven't had a good skip in ages!

  Do you think the world would be a better place if more skipping too place?

  My five-year old daughter just learned how to skip so now she skips everywhere she goes. I love it!

  Skipping always made me happy when I was a child (scraped knees and all). I think it would do everyone a little good if they skipped for a few minutes everyday!!

  joannadandy,

  I'm thinking you'll have to do the old cross one arm with the other routine with mittens on. it's not as subtle, but subtlety isn't what we're going for here.

  P.S. Try this while skipping, and see just how wonderful the world can be!

  Maybe you've got something there.

  My last child was a great skipper. He skipped everywhere he went. It was the cutest thing I'd ever seen and he always made me smile. I skipped as a kid, too, and I even skipped a little not too long ago, when I knew nobody was watching. I got the same happy feeling. Great post, Joanna!!!

  Not a person given to flippin people off too often and living in So. CA, can't comment on the mitten idea, although it would have an impact in colder climates!

  I read an article about a woman who decided to take up skipping. She now organizes groups to skip through San Francisco. How fun would that be and wouldn't you just grin from ear to ear to see a group of grown women skipping by? She also mentioned she lost 25 pounds.

  My four year old learned to skip in ballet. She puts her hands on her hips and skips all over the place. Cute.

  I am LMAO.

  I know an ex-JW, we were close friends in childhood. He failed Kindergarten because he didn't know how to skip.

  As I got to be a teenager, I started calling him "MikeTV". You know, that character from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This kid watched every movie ever produced by Hollywood. LOL.

  Thanks for the memory.
