Jessica's Mother's Hands True Story

Little Jessica was six years old. Her mother walked her to school everyday and she would pick her up from school and walk her home. As Jessica and her mom would walk to school, Jessica's little friends in her class would pick on Jessica. Saying her mom had ugly hands. Her Mother's hands appeared somewhat deformed red, and scarred. This went on for a while and Jessica came home one day and went to her room and cried out loud on her bed, yelling I hate Mommy's Hands. She was having a breakdown from all the teasing the kids at school were teasing her about. She had enough and at that very moment she vented her anger toward her Mother. During this episode of Anger and Crying Jessica's father heard, and ran up to Jessica's room to find out why Jessica was Crying and Yelling. " I hate Mommy's hands." She would say over and over. Her father asked Jessica to calm down and asked why she was upset. Jessica explained to him that when Mommy took her to school her classmates would notice her Mother's hands and laugh and make fun of them and tell Jessica how ugly they were. Her father realized what had happened and He said." Jessica sit up Honey." Jessica sat up on the bed, her father said," Honey I am going to tell you why your Mommy's Hands look the way they do. When you were a baby there was a second floor fire in our house, and you were in your room in your crib. Your Mommy climbed up to the second floor of the house grabbing the burning gutter, making her way up climbing. Each time when she touched the gutter she would burn her hand. She never gave up until she rescued you from the fire. That is why your Mommy's hands look the way they do. She loved you so much that she did not stop climbing even though her hands were being burned. Jessica now knew what her mom had done, and her tears began to flow. Jessica waited patiently for her mom. When her Mom arrived Jessica gave her mother a big hug and told her Mother she had the most beautiful hands in the whole world. She then kissed them and told her mother she loved her. Jessica's mother did not understand what had happened, until her husband later explained to her what had happened at school. Jessica was proud to hold her Mother's hand and when she got to school she told everyone why her Mother's hands look like they did. Her school friends never said another word to her after learning the story behind Jessica's Mother's Lovely Hands. Michael Tor
