Wedding Finger...why the fourth finger?

Many times I wonder why the wedding ring must be put on the fourth finger. Well, here is one interesting thoughts on that.


Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.....

Thumb represents your Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
Middle finger represents your-Self
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
& the Last (Little) finger represents your children

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - 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 as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)... ., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)... ., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).

You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!

Please try this out......... ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY?

I have 3 daughters??

Due to his mother wanting to let him have long hair, Barnabas was always being mistaken as a girl. I find it a bit "xxx" (don't know the correct word to use)but I don't really like it when that happens. For his sake, it would be better that he be dressed and looks like a boy.

I guess it is not a big issue for Barnabas as he knows nothing about this matter. It is more of the mother wanting her own way. Why can't it be accepted that he is a boy and let him have a short hair. If ever she wants to have a baby with long hair, get another daughter lah, just don't transform Barnabas into a girl. What is the point of having a son but he is treated as a daughter or being groomed to look like a daughter.

Maybe it is time to get more sons.
