The reason you dropped an item is because you do not have finge prints any more.

Did you know that? I didn’t until a Teacher friend said they had to use lotion to fingerprint her for school. That is why you are dropping things. No grip, same problem here, but pick it up, may be the only exercise you get today!

Like my Son telling his son his room was always clean. I happened to over hear and Remarked,” Because I always cleaned it for you!”
