“She was lookin’ kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an “L” on her forehead…” – Smash Mouth

Hi. I am The Total Loser.

At least that’s what my daughter calls me.

The other day I was doing the whole “L on the forehead thing”, but then decided that my “Loser Script” was just keeping me down, so I decided to form my fingers in the shape of a “W” for “Winner” and place them on my forehead instead.

In order to achieve the “W” shape, I had to hook my pinky and my thumb together and then spread out the remaining three fingers into a makeshift “W”.

Success!!

Until…

Once placed onto my forehead, palm down, my precariously positioned thumb & pinky combo failed to hold.

My thumb slipped off of my pinky and sent it “thwack!” (that’s the actual sound it made!) – right into my eye.

I think the “L” on the forehead definitely suits me best (and is much safer, at any rate!)
