She's sucking her thumb. I did back up to take the picture because I didn't actually want to make her feel uncomfortable <i>(or for anyone to be able to identify her based on my picture)</i>. <br /><br />I feel for her, because I wonder what her story is: what sort of life do you have to have to be doing that past the age of um, <b>12,</b> right, Carla?Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411998468123052731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934570763492781767.post-60646046562000484332010-05-16T11:40:08.637-07:002010-05-16T11:40:08.637-07:00And here I was just guessing a cut or hangnail or ...And here I was just guessing a cut or hangnail or something - I do this just to keep from getting blood all over everything.

And Asians. And in your neck of the woods, a few Armenians.<br /><br />I'm just surprised that if someone has such feelings and needs that they actually are stable enough to leave the house. <br /><br />A good curl up and cry at the bottom of one's closet might be helpful once in awhile, but to be that needy and be able to get outside the door is interesting to me. <br /><br />I wish I'd gotten a picture of a woman's jeans here yesterday, Carla.
