I have something very special that belongs to only me.
I was born with it ...
And it changes as I grow older.
But it is always just mine! It's my body.
Sometimes I like to share my body ...
When I hug my father, I am sharing my body.
When I sit on my grandma's lap, I am sharing my body.
When I hold a little baby's hand, I am sharing my body.
When I let someone tickle me, I am sharing my body.
