Here's my entry:

Fingernail

'Fingernail' is a hard prompt, I think but 'fingernails' is easier. That might be because most people have twenty of them.

Have you ever had to cut a new baby's fingernails? It's a scary task for sure. Not only are the fingernails tiny and flexible but the fingers themselves are so small you could cut one off if you're not very careful.

I've noticed that men are often good at cutting baby's fingernails. They just get down to the job whereas women procrastinate about it. Well, that's good. I'm all for task sharing where baby's fingernails are concerned.

See, the thing is, babies who breastfeed sometimes like to pinch Mum to enhance their sucking pleasure, so short fingernails are important.

Oh, time is out. That went quickly.

I smile as I read your comment. You are right. Don't let dad do it!

Babies are scary creatures and they might break if you touch them lol. Being a man I was often afraid to do anything that seemed risky with my son because of my unnatural fear of women. If a rooster ever makes even the slightest mistake with a young chick he is in danger of being flogged by every hen in the house. In fact, there have been times when the rooster did nothing wrong but be a rooster, the little chick starts crying because the rooster is not a hen, and the little brat gets the rooster in trouble for no reason lol. 🙄

Haha, beware of the chicks then!

That's right! 😃

Babies fingernails are that nimble, they'd make anybody procrastinate.. I used to love long nails, growing up...but i am now a big boy! And nails have no place in my work place! lol,

Thanks for your thoughts, and for keeping up to the time! lol, not many of us stick to the second, i think! 🙏
