Assessment 4 - Man Hands

Okay - so I'm not a small, delicate woman. I'm 5'9" and from a hearty stock of Irish and English descendants. According to my mother, my English relatives were some lesser class of nobility, but I think, based on the ultra-sturdy body type that I have, they were instead people who were "owned" by the upper crust and made to do hard manual labor like shoveling coal, tending the fields, stacking gold bricks or whatever.

So, that aside, I've spent my entire life working hard - sometime too hard. My mother always yelled at me "You're working like a man! You need to stop!" I guess that's why my hands are bigger and stronger than those of most women. They're not really like man hands (they are proportionally okay), but they have been roughed up over time. Calluses, chafed knuckles, and the like.

They, like the rest of me, could use a little TLC.
