There was a period of time in kindergarten in which both boys and girls from my class were staring at their wrists. We highly wanted to find out how much babies everyone of us would have in future.
It’s about a pad on your palm (the pad which has no fingers). You push it with a finger and let it linger there a little until some small bubble turns up underneath the skin of your wrist. The number of the bubbles is supposed to show the number of your kids in general.
Ok, but it is different about my right and left hand. Should I sum the two numbers? My left wrist sais 1 , but my right one doesn’t seem to have a determined point of view – it is something like 2… 1+2…hm…that’s intriguing…
