Comment on Is this a scam or am I being paranoid? And if so, what kind of scam is this?

  Ok, don’t do a thumbs up. But also don’t do a thumbs down either. Do one kind of halfway between up and down, where it’s kind of pointing to the side.

  We innitially wanted something where your fingers make the shape of a T, but as it turns out, it is really really hard to move your fingers into the shape of a T. Try it. It’s akward, and painful, and it kinda sorta can be done…but also we hate it, so we decided on the thumb to the side thing. Easy to do, easy to read once you see it. That was the important part.

    I feel like🖕would’ve worked fine (assuming you don’t otherwise make rude gestures at your mom).

      If Family Fued had the question “Name 10 ways to get a smack in tbe back of the head from your mom”, I think “giving her the finger” might actually be the top answer.

      All your family would hear it, and say “Good answer, good answer!” And it’s absolutely on the board. Steve Harvey would then make an outragious claim that your mom is whoopin your ass after that.

      It’s like…Jeez, Steve! Calm down! It’s 1 slap! If your mom is realing for the cane, I think you might have just been raised in a toxic home. Which for him is absolutely true.

        In your previous comment it sounded like you had discussed itvbegorehand, do your mom would’ve known the gesture wasn’t meant for her.

        LOL at the Family Feud extended metaphor, though!
