I immediately thought of this when I saw Mr Bee's post about holding your child's hands while they fall asleep.

My family is not a very touchy-feely family - we don't hug a lot, hold hands, that sort of thing. We're very hands off. Well, when I was around 13 or so, I was having some problems with being regular. It hurt really, really badly to go to the bathroom so one time, my Mom came into the bathroom with me and held my hands for something to squeeze as I went. It was so nice but thinking back on it now - so weird! My Mom hadn't seen me in the bathroom since I was in diapers!! lol! It was definitely one of the nicest 'weird' things she ever did for me.
