I have a little girl who goes through very peculiar phases.
It’s the moisturizer phase now. She will request for moisturizer, and we would have to squirt some on to both her palms.
In which, she will hold it up in highest honor and NO ONE must touch or take that away from her. You can suggest gently for her to apply it on her face, she will sometimes take heed and dot some on, but very very sparingly. She will say “I want a bit more please” and beg you to squirt some more. She will continue on with life for the next 45 mins with her hands held up like a worshipful way. Very ginger in taking her steps, afraid her precious moisturizer would be smeared some where. Even to nap, she would ask for help so that you can place her nicely on the pillow, while her hands still held up high. My mom even took pity on her and placed 2 bolsters under her arms so that they are supported. Just like Aaron and Hur. She asks for her moisturizer 1st thing when she wakes up, and gave a pleased smile when explained that the moisturizer hasn’t disappeared but absorbed into her, now very moisturized skin (except that it’s only very moisturized on her palms)
This little girl, is my dear daughter, Janice. And Janice, mom’s writing this so that 20 years later, you can laugh with us, your peculiarity and not be appalled by your kids in future because of their strange behaviors. I am sure I was only half as strange as you, but you know such things always evolve quite a bit J
Nevertheless, you were still duper cute.
