We grew up and have been raised by a mother who's ultimate dream is becoming a doctor. She is so caring and loving and with a single touch she can cure all your pain. ALL kinds of pain!
A touch of her hand with some olive oil!
She believes that it cures EVERYTHING!
and by using her strong powers she hypnotised me and made me one of her students. I really don't know what makes me believe she is right. When my Mariyah gets hurt, I find myself running to the kitchen looking crazily for the olive oil bottle then pour some on my hand then rush to my little girl to rub her pain.
Jeeej on the other hand has done it several times for me, NOT because he believes in it but because of my begging while carrying the little one or because my hands are busy doing something else! He hates believing it's the right thing to do! Every single time he does it he says: "I swear, this is the last time I'm doing this! This is stoooopid!!"
And surprise, surprise!! Mariyah asks for it whenever she feels pain or hurts herself! It makes her quiet in a second!
This week, I've been out of olive oil. The bottle is empty because of too many rescuing. Mariyah of course doesn't believe it's gone, so she begs for it.
Jeeej smart pants found the solution. He told Mariyah: "Don't I always rub my hair with olive oil after I take a shower?" She nodded.
He rubs his head now, and touches her pain afterwards and says: "There you go!"
And all the pain goes away!
