It's so true. Have you ever noticed when you're in a crowd that's clapping (like at the end of a play) and suddenly everyone's clapping at the same time? Also, if you see any girls under the age of 22, you'll notice that they're all dressed almost exactly the same. Same type of shirt, same type of shorts, same type of sandals, hair flopped up in a messy way -- the only real difference is the colors and even they aren't usually that drastically different.

They weren't supposed to know. (I jest, I was practically a priest (in the Thorn Birds model, natch.)) I keep thinking that social proof will get my son's thumb outta his mouth, but as his younger brother also sucks his thumb, I fear I'll have to bind both of their arms to their sides. Problem is, the younger is so bendy, they'll both soon be sucking their toes. Well I knew I was in trouble whenever two or more girlfriends were mad at me… because, well.
