dad

Also see, "mom."

For the sign DAD you can use a slight "tapping" motion to touch the thumb to the forehead, move the hand out an inch, then touch the thumb to the forehead again.  You don't have to "tap" it.  You can just touch your thumb to the forehead for a moment.

Some people "wiggle" the fingers--it means the same either way, wiggle or no wiggle.  Sometimes starts with an "A" hand and opens into the "5" hand.
