re: A Kiss is Just a Kiss... Muah |

My story is about non-romantic kissing. I have some good ones about the other kind of kissing, but they're not ready for public consumption.
My daughter and I have a substitute for a kiss now that she's a big girl and too embarrassed to be seen kissing me.
When she was a baby, I used to cup my hand and she'd curl up her chubby little hand and rub it on the inside of my cupped hand. We began calling this move the noojie. She did this when she was nursing or snuggling. Sometimes when she was playing and needed comfort or reassurance, she'd take a break from her play, run to me, do a quick noojie with me and then run back to her toys. This kid never had a pacifier or security blanket - just noojies and human touch.
Somewhere around 3rd grade, she became too embarrassed to kiss me in public when I'd drop her off at school. So, we began doing the noojie every morning as she hopped out of the car and ran to join her classmates.
We still do the noojie. She says she doesn't do noojies with her dad because his hands don't feel "right". Only I can do the noojie.
Sometimes we do a double noojie (two hands simultaneously).
I love our parent/child kiss.
