How do you kiss?
I have a confession....I have a bubble. Sometimes it's a really big bubble. And being married and having children to love has tested that bubble. Perhaps it's a fault. I don't really know. But if there is one thing I do know it is that there is only one person on this earth that I have ever enjoyed kissing on the lips. Anyone else better keep their stinky, slimy, germ-infested, lips away from me. And sadly, this, for the most part, includes my children. Which is hard because that other person (the one I mentioned who I actually sometimes really enjoy kissing on the lips) purposefully kisses our children on the lips. So they think I should too. And I have this really bad habit of turning away just as they approach so that their well-intended lip-kiss hits me safely on the cheek where most kisses really should land anyway. Am I crazy? Jason says I need counseling. I say that maybe my bubble is a little bigger than it needs to be, but really lip-kissing in general is over-rated. What do you think?

Not a lip kisser either.
Cheek kissing, good.
(I'm not a big hugger either though. I'm more of a punch you in the shoulder or rub my kids' head kind of person ... can I join you at counseling?)
Taun is the same way. Must have been raised by the same people, huh!
I'm a kisser and a hugger and a toucher and everything opposite, but I think that is how I feel loved. You just have a different love language. Maybe you weren't raised on hugs and kisses and that is why the whole kissing thing freaks you out. I am sure your children won't feel any less loved by you because you don't do lip kisses because you show them love in lots of different ways.
You don't have to kiss the kids - just stop turning your head when I get close. I'm not suspicious 'cause I know you so well, but if I didn't know you, I might wonder..
Ickiest. Post. Ever.
Okay, I'm obviously not the worst Beddes...at least I can talk about kissing! Ha ha. Course Aaron always was a bit of a stick in the mud.
