My grandson, Spencer, lives in Texas. The young man is 7 years old and is just entering the phase in his life to have mom tell him I love you or kiss him in public especially around school. This morning my daughter Lorri decided to have some fun with him. She drives him to school and drops him off in the front. Not having to get out of the van, she doesn't put on makeup or at times drives him to school in her slippers and pajamas. Today he asked if she would turn the radio off before they got to school so nobody would hear it. I don't know why, she listens to country music as does everyone else. So in kidding him she said she was going to turn the radio up a little and when they got to school she would get out and open his door for him, in her pj's and slippers and give him a hug and a kiss. He burst into tears at those words and then she told him she wasn't going to do that. When they stopped in front of the school my daughter unhooked her seat belt and opened the door. She said she thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head with the thought of her opening the door for him in her pj's and giving him a kiss and a hug.
To all you cool kids out there, there is nothing wrong with showing affection to you parents, grandparents or even your sisters or brothers. This will carry over to your later years and you will be glad you did this little show of affection.
