Get an exclusive look at what a normal day looks like for a hand. We asked Dexter, who is an expert at being a hand, to give us some insights.
The first thing I do every morning is work my way out from under some pillow or blanket and slam down on a blaring alarm clock. Once that’s out of the way, there’s a lot to take care of.
"Actually, I have a lot of jobs."
Once the work is done, it’s time to play! I love holding hands — all hands do, you should try it! — and giving high fives and petting dogs (wow, the best!). In my life as a hand there are so many games I get to play:
"It’s called lending a helping hand — us hands, we care. Hands are a symbol of outreach and togetherness."
"By keeping your hands clean — in every sense of the word — you’re making the world a better place."
