I want to know....


Today Stacey and I were discussing how we tap our fingers. Do you go pinky to thumb or thumb to pinky? It is definitely more natural for me to start with the pinky, but I also find myself doing a combination, where I start with thumb, then pinky, then index, then ring finger, then middle. I can start with thumb, but it is definitely more awkward for me. Stacey also starts with pinky and absolutely can't do it reversed. It's just one of those freak things that there is no explanation as to why we do some things they way we do....like which arm is on top when you fold your arms across your chest, or when you interlace your fingers, which thumb is on top. I want to know which way you tap and see if there is one that is more dominant over the other!

  1. I am totally pinky to thumb and don't do so well going the other way.

    Elise does pinky to thumb also but she can go the other way too. She plays the piano-- could that have something to do with it????

  2. I do pinky to thumb and if I do it the other way it's not so good and feels uncomfortable! Folding your arms with the other hand on top is weird...I never thought of that!

  3. I start with the pinky finger, but don't involve the thumb at all. It gets a free ride.
