American Sign Language:  "mom"


MOM:
Make the sign for "Mother" by placing the thumb of your right hand against your chin.  Your hand should be open.

    
Note: there are several variations of the sign "MOM."  
An interesting method I've seen is to place the tip of the thumb of your right "A" hand on your chin then open the "A" hand into a "five" hand.
Some people wiggle the fingers while signing MOM.
Some people use a double tap on the chin.

Memory aid: Think of the "chief" man or woman of a family. The fingers of the right hand represent feathers.
