once at preschool, me and some other kids stuck up our middle fingers, having no clue what it meant, and my mom who worked at the day care told me and my friend tabitha that if we stuck up our middle finger, we'd get struck by lightning. since lightning is usually accompanied by dark clouds and rain, and since there was none i thought it'd be ok just this one time, so the 2 of us kept doing it...and then there was this teengage boy who worked there and said, "she just stuck up her middle finger. she's gonna get struck by lightning!" i didn't learn until i was in grade school what it actually meant.
