Finger of God

Abby has a game she likes to play that Dana calls the Finger of God. She started playing this game over the 4th of July when we were at the cabin. Dana would make sandcastles for the girls and as fast as he could make them, Abby would smash them down. But instead of stomping on them, or flopping on top of them, or bashing them with her fist, she simply takes her pointer finger and sticks it into the sandcastle. And invariably, she sticks it into a place so the entire castle literally crumbles. She re-enacted the game today at the doctor's office, playing God with the blocks and cups Dana stacked for her. Now, if I only knew where she got so much power in one little finger...
