Where the wedding ring should be

Here's an old story credited to anonymity. Something seemed to be wrong with this businessman.

- FRANCIS J. KONG

After talking with him, I finally figured out what was wrong. This businessman was wearing his wedding ring on his wrong finger.

And so I asked, "I don't mean to pry, but I noticed that you are wearing your wedding ring on your finger. Do you know that?"

The businessman confidently nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

Last (little) finger represents your children

First, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers, and hold them together — back to back.

Second, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumbs tip to tip.

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents). They will open because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong and have to leave you sooner or later.

Please join your thumbs again and separate your index fingers (representing siblings). They will also open because your brothers and sisters will have families and lead separate lives.
