Koohii stories:

1) [nilfisq] 30-8-2007(192): See suck (#689 吸): if it's too big to handle, just use your fingers instead…

2) [joesan] 6-10-2007(131): One of the first thing a baby can do with his hand is to reach out and grab your finger as if it was a little handle.

3) [paddy71] 7-2-2008(60): Handle with care… carefully hold the Nitroglycerin within your fingers with outstretched hands for fear of it blowing up in your face…

4) [nagisa] 18-5-2007(51): A toddler reaching up with OUTSTRETCHED HANDS for a mug sitting on the table, just barely out of his reach. Straining, he can just barely get his FINGER to brush the handle.

5) [tomtosh] 22-6-2009(42): Pay attention to this story because you'll learn how to recall the reading of this kanji as well: We've all heard the expression: "Too hot to handle" – Well, just imagine you are reaching out your fingers to touch someone's face and it is too hot to handle. (Then you can combine the word for hot (atsui) with the word for face (kao) and always remember how this character is read: atsukau - あつかう.).
