I asked “which finger did you hurt?” Seconds later I found myself struggling to contain my internal laugh fest because let’s face it — what’s cuter than a 5-year old flipping you the bird 🙂 On a more serious note, I reflected on that moment, and many others over the past several months, evaluating my ability to be empathetic.
