Misunderstanding?

So, we've been reading in the Book of Mormon (family edition) together and we've been learning about Lehi's dream. It's a really great parable about holding on to the "iron rod" (word of God) and how it leads to eternal life and the love of God. The dream he had also tells about some people who are of the world who mock and point fingers and laugh at those who are following the path. This is the picture that artist, Greg Olsen, has created to portray the dream.

Last night we were talking about how Lehi's family reacted to this dream/vision and Isabella said "mom, I want to see the picture of the people putting their middle fingers up." I was like "what??", then it dawned on me what she was referring to and I quickly told her that they (most certainly) do not have their middle fingers up in this painting (in real life, yes!) but that they are pointing and making fun of the others. She said "oh" then proceeded to tell me about her classmate at lunch who put his finger up and got sent to the principal's office. Well, I told her, maybe he didn't know what that meant and she assured me he did. So, awesome!! My baby girl is exposed to this in 2nd grade and thinks that there are R rated pictures in the scriptures. ;)
