the five fingers

B loves playing on Haring Kids during the rare little sessions she gets on my computer. The site has several games and activities utilising the late Keith Haring's artwork, which aren't the usual run of shooting things or dressing them up. One of the activities involves writing a story about the Haring illustration above. B came up with:

Once upon a time, the five fingers were bored. They were tired from helping the hand do things. So they decided to run away from the hand. At night, they quietly tiptoed away. This made the hand very sad. It was hard for it to do things without fingers. The next day the hand suggested they should go to the disco. So they all went to the disco and had a great time DANCING!!!The End!

Insightful!
And I thought it appropriate to see KH's work on what our local newscasts are saying is the 30th anniversary of the first "identified" AIDS diagnosis. Can't believe it's been 30 years. Grateful for the research that has worked. Hoping that stigmatized peoples get more, better information and support.
