Rubbing Hands

I sat down to eat dinner the other night. I made my husband his favorite — roasted tomatoes with linguine. He sat down and for the first time in a long time, he rubbed his hands together. I grinned and said to him, “You know what that means?” He looked at me and smiled. I said it means you are really excited about what you are going to eat, it’s like your hands are salivating for you!”

When people do that gesture, it usually means they are very excited and happy about what is before them. It could also mean they have cold hands.
