Katie does. She's been studying fingerprints on her own...reading about them, studying pictures of them, making her own, etc... Did you know there are different fingerprint patterns...whorl, loop, arch, and mixed? Which do you have? Can a person have more than one pattern? Her little inquiring mind just
had to know. :) So we did a little experiment last week. We made up a chart with columns for each of the different patterns. Then she fingerprinted herself, Jacob, Rachel, and me. She cut out each of the prints and placed them in the appropriate column on the chart. It was interesting to see that, yes, a person can have different types of prints. The most popular print? The loop, of course! ;) (You mean you
didn't know that???) The least popular? Surely you knew it was the arch! For some reason, there was not a single mixed fingerprint pattern in the bunch. Mixed prints just must not run in our family. :O) You can click on the chart below if you're interested in seeing a bigger version of the chart. Go ahead. Click. You know you're dying to. :O)
Bet you're fascinated with fingerprints now, aren't ya? I knew you would be. Fingerprints are ok...I mean, actually, they really are quite interesting when you get to studying them and realize that no two prints are exactly alike. We really do have quite a creative God, don't we? And ya know what else? I'm thankful for inquiring little minds. They keep my "getting-older-and-tending-to-forget-things-mind" active. :O)
