Toe Wiggler

Back in May I smacked my right pinky toe walking barefoot in the dark, banging into the leg of a table in the middle of the night. I had to take four ibuprofen! I was afraid I had broken it, but I was still able to wiggle the toe in isolation, something I used to practice on a regular basis when I was a kid; wiggling ears one at a time, flaring nostrils, lifting eyebrows one at a time, and wiggling each pinky toe. I was very isolated, so this was how I spent my time after school each day. Maybe this is why I enjoyed being a teacher every day, so the kids could have fun and be nourished and not just stay home wiggling their faces and toes in the mirror.
