✋ Sign of the Day — SON

Cap brim, then cradle — that's the whole sign.

Start with a flat-B hand at your forehead like you're tipping the brim of a cap (the "male" root in ASL), then sweep it down into your non-dominant arm as if you're holding a baby.

Male + child = SON.

Card 1 — Starting Handshape Flat-B at forehead, palm facing down, fingers bent. Thumb-side near the right temple. Think: brim of a cap.

Card 2 — Motion Hand arcs down in a smooth diagonal sweep toward your non-dominant arm, which is held horizontally at chest level, palm up.

Card 3 — Ending Handshape Dominant hand closes to a flat-O (or flat bent-B) and rests in the crook of the non-dominant arm — the cradling position.

Tip: neutral expression throughout; a slight downward glance toward the cradle arm looks natural.
