157. These Are Good Hands (ē te ya nā)
Whenever Oyasama was tired, granddaughter Hisa Kajimoto would say, “Please let me massage you.”
“Please give me a massage,”
Oyasama would say. So Hisa would massage Her. When she was finished, Oyasama would take Hisa’s hands and say:
“These are good hands,”
and would gently stroke them. Oyasama also used to say as if She were singing:
“You do not need any money to be devoted to your parents. Just give them a massage to make them happy.”
