FATHER — one hand, one tap.
Open your dominant hand wide (all five fingers spread). Press your thumb to the center of your forehead, fingers pointing up. Tap once or twice — that's it.

Think of it as a hat brim salute: the spread hand at the forehead is how you signal a paternal figure in ASL.
Yesterday we learned MOTHER (chin tap). Today: FATHER (forehead tap). Same open-5 handshape, different placement — easy to pair and remember together.

Quick breakdown:
  • Handshape: open-5 (all fingers spread, thumb out)
  • Location: forehead center
  • Movement: 1–2 short taps
  • Non-dominant hand: not used

Try it: "My father loves to cook on Sundays."
