Brandi is more likely to imitate the novel action (using the forehead) because she observed it in a context where it was not necessary (hands were empty), suggesting it might be a preferred or special method. Sasha saw the action as a necessity due to her father's hands being full, making it less likely for her to consider using her forehead when her hands are free.
