Handle With Kid Gloves

To carefully and tenderly take care of

Etymology:

  • As kids’ gloves are manufactured with the soft hide of a goat kid, it is very smooth when touched. If you lift and carry anything delicate or anyone who get irritated very soon with kid gloves, you are being very kind. In other case, you may break that delicate item or bother that person. So you’ll make sure to avoid such problems.
