ASL word of the day...Nuts

My grand kids are either sick or have misplaced their cameras, so I don't have a model today.
But here is the ASL word of the day: NUT (peanut)
 the sign reminds me of someone trying to suck their thumb with their mouth open. 
This picture is of kayleigh who is a thumb sucker. It's as close as I am going to get today.





Peanut n.  A pod with oily, edible seeds: Don't leave the shells around when you eat peanuts.
This same sign is used for NUT.

(Represents peanut butter sticking to the back of one's teeth) Flick the extended right thumb, palm facing left, forward off the edge of the top front teeth with an upward double movement.

I will post a picture of the sign as soon as I can
