More Taoist Practices

In the early days when I first brought my baby home, he was still suffering a bit of jaundice. The advice was to sun him in the morning before 10am for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Over Chinese New Year, the hubby and I went to back to my in laws’ residence and one morning when baby and I came downstairs, the only spot of sun I could see was next to the altar they kept in the house. Being ignorant as I was, I happily went about laying the baby in that little spot of sunlight before the altar.

When my MIL came out her room, she went ballistic. Apparently what I had done was offer up my baby to my husband’s dead ancestors.

Note to self: never put anything next to the altar. In fact, I should never ever go near the altar. Period.
