Dots

Daron and his roommate met Candice and Charlie at a dot party. The four were all wearing dots on their foreheads because they wanted to engage in intelligent conversation. The dots, however, were taken offensively by the students who hosted the party because they were reminiscent of the bindi worn by Indians. It was because of these dots and the banishment that resulted from them that the four met. It was also from this act that Louis deemed them the 4 Little Indians.
