My father's hands are important, they built our house and put food on the table. Like big green ogres, they grab as much as they can. Always clean and look like a little old, crusty, and spotted. My sisters are transparent. Always getting into things that's she is not supposed to. Her nails are constantly changing colors. They are always clammy and sweaty but barely big enough to throw a football. My moms are very helpful. Always dusty or cleansed with some sort of soap or cleaner. Like little elves work but into two hands. Long nails with professionally painted nails, shining like the sun.
