I love Zahara. You know that girl can get shit done. She’s been giving photographers the evil eye since she was about a year and a half old, and I respect the girl for being tough. I really wouldn’t want to run into her alone in a dark alley now, let alone in a few years. I think she could beat me up pretty badly. To further support my “Zahara is a badass” theory we have recent pictures of said little tot flipping off the camera. I swear to God, I will teach my future children how to do this, because it is both awesome and classy.

I wonder where she learned this little gesture? My money is on Angie, probably at Brad, over something Jenny Shimizu said about her former bisexual days. Zahara saw that it got a rise out of her dad, and decided it was a good idea to go ahead and do that whenever she wanted to piss someone off. And let’s be honest here, it’s not like Brad and Angie can really monitor her flipping people off when they’re trying to navigate their way through crowds of photographers. Thus, the most perfectly fertile ground for flipping-off-age.

Upon closer inspection, you can see that Zahara is sucking her thumb. As a former thumb-sucker until the third grade (hey I have a stubborn oral fixation… and I blame Freud) I can tell you exactly what’s going on here. Thumb suckers become master multi-taskers. I mean your hand is already right there, you might as well do something with the other four fingers (don’t give me that shit about how your thumb isn’t technically a finger. It’s connected to your palm and you can use it to hitch a ride, which makes it a finger to me). She’s either got an itch and is just using the most convenient finger, or homegirl is just going for the multi-tasking I’m-chilling-sucking-my-thumb-while-flipping-you-assholes-off maneuver. My money is on the later. Look at that expression. That’s the look of someone that wants to kill you, you motherf*******.

Just a word of advice to Brad and Angie: I don’t really care that your two year old is flipping off the paps, but it might be a good idea to get her a pacifier. After four rounds of braces, 7 retainers, and a bout with headgear, I still have a monstrous overbite, all because I couldn’t quit the thumb. That shit was like hard drugs for me. All that’s available now is a $18,000 jaw surgery. I realize you probably spend that on one night in a hotel, but wouldn’t it be great to save your kid the pain, get her a pacifier you can throw out when it’s time, and donate the money to starving kids or something? Just a thought. But keep up the finger, I like it.
