Oh ! my God story NO. 23

The woman's age (Taboo No 1)

 

There are some taboos in America that you never do.
Especially, there's one that you have to be careful about.
You never ask woman's age.
That act is an Invasion of a person's privacy.


As a palm reader, this is very difficult.
So I have to be brave when I ask woman's age in my reading,
If you don't mind would you tell me how old you are?


But there are some women who say no.
I can't say any more.  It's hard.
Astrology and direction readers will give up, too.
You can't read anything if you don't have the date of their birth.


This is like saying
 "don't never touch my body" when she needs to have her blood pressure taken.

Oh ! my God
