pinky & the brain

Sage and her father were playing little hand games--you know, like 'gimme five', 'high five', and so on--when Dean said, "Let's pinky-kiss!"

"Pinky?" Sage, having never encountered the word before, looked confused.

"Pinky," Dean told her. "Your smallest finger is also called your pinky."

"This one," I chimed in, wiggling my smallest finger at Sage. "This one is your pinky."

"No, Mommy," she admonished me, pushing my hand away and holding up her own smallest finger. "THIS ONE is my pinky. That's YOUR pinky."

And once again, I sit corrected.
