Working Woman's Hands

Just got back from Frankfurt today...

Had a really busy flight.. I worked behind the curtains so my hands got so work roughened and the skin all burnt from touching all the hot casserols.

When I met up with my sis for lunch this afternoon, Joshua held my hand and asked me, "Ah Yee... why is your hand so rough?"

I was quite surprised.. such an innocent, blunt comment.

I told him, "Ah yee touches alot of hot plates when I work so I burnt the skin on my hands. Thats why my hands so are rough..."

He nodded and accepted my explanation in that innocent, trusting way. But I could tell he didn't really want to hold my hand anymore.

Sigh.

The sacrifices we make for work.
