Those wonderful 12 steps!

Hello againnn! I really expect that you were anxious to know those magic secrets of washing hands!!!

So, here they are, “How we should wash hands?”:

The first step is misteriously assigned the number zero: “wet the hands with water”. It is, of course, a previous moment in the relation with the act of washing hands, but it's astonishing that it has not been recognised suficient dignity to allocated it a natural number.

The step which is really named as number one (step one) is: “Apply soap to cover all surfaces of the hands” and the disgrace begins!

For the ones who have ever soaped hands...you shall all feel the humiliation of having never apllied soap!! The instruction finds in language a cruel degree diferentiation of neatness: who knows how to wash hands apllysoap; the pigs soap.

In step 2: “Rub your palms in one another” - there is a recommendation accompanied by an illustration with two hands rubbing in one another in an circular and opposed movement to the clockwise ( Who has always rubbed hands in an opposed movement to this one, like me, wasted all his life in terms of personal hygiene)!

The following steps explain the same, although in a less “scandalous” way: "rub the right palm on the back of the left, with fingers interlaced, and vice versa"; "palm to palm with fingers interlaced"; and the fifth step advises us to rub the "back of fingers on opposing palms with fingers entwined". From this point, it just keeps getting worse...

The sixth step: "rub the left thumb in a rotational direction, interlaced in the right palm and vice versa" in movements similar to those made when accelerating a scooter.

Step number seven recommends "rub alternately back and forth fingers of the right hand in left palm and vice versa". The care put in these points humbles whoever merely rubs his hands together, neglecting the role of hygiene in turnover.

"Rinse out your hands" is the step number eight, and number nine is "Dry hands with disposable towel".

But the tenth step reveals that the process is complex: "Use the towel to turn off the tap if it is manually operated."... Therefore, the tap must continue to run during step nine...such an OBVIOUS form of savings!

The eleventh step is the most interesting: "Now your hands are clean and safe".

Sooo.. we can conclude that the contemplation of cleanliness and safety of the hands is therefore a separate step in this process of manual washing...After washing, with your hands spotlessly clean (and safe), you'll leave the bathroom, opening the door by its handle where everyone puts their hands!

So beautiful, this manner of washing hands, don't you think?! I hope this Christmas you applly all the steps in your hygiene methods! So, a very good Christmas and a prosperous new year my pumpkins!

XOXO, Oh My Gossip!,
