Oh Gee.. a Hug!

Hugs
Hugs are great... But sometimes not so great... 
Its the worst when someone you barely know, or someone you don't really like gives you a hug. For me I just want to scream: DON'T TOUCH ME!!! But instead I try to be more kind and act like this...
 
 Picture #1: She (girl on the right) is trying to be nice, and is hinting that I really don't want to hug you.. Obviously the other girl isn't getting the hint..
 Photo #2: She is enduring through the torturous hug...
 
I have totally experienced what these two people are going through.

Its like, why can't you just give me a high five? I give awesome high fives and I can always use hand sanitizer after if I feel a little germy. But with hugs this is not the case!
 
There is only ONE hug I'm okay with...

This is what I'm talking about.. Why not just walk around with a bag of hugs?!

HUGS
It's wondrous what a hug can do,
A hug can cheer when you're blue
A hug can say " i love you so,"
or "Gee, i hate to see you go!"
A hug is "welcome back again,
Great to see you, where've you been?"
A hug can sooth a small child's pain
And bring a rainbow after rain.
The hug! there's just no doubt about it,
We could scarcely live without it!
A hug delights and warms and charms,
It must be why God gave us arms (or Chocolate).
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers
sweet for sisters, swell for brothers.
And chances are that favorite aunts
Love them more than potted plants.
Kittens crave them. Puppies love them.
Heads of state are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier,
and make the dullest day seem merrier.
No need to fret about the store of 'em.
The more you give, the more there are of 'em.
So, stretch those arms without delay
and give someone a hug today!!

(I added the "or Chocolate" part)

In case you are not sure if someone would like a hug or not, here are some Signs/Tips:

1. If they don't like to be touched, DON'T TOUCH THEM. Most likely means they wouldn't like a hug.
2. If they aren't real friendly to you.. Don't hug them..
3. If you hardly know them... Don't hug them... Stick to High Fives. (Rather be safe than sorry)
4. When in doubt... Don't do it!
 5. DON'T make it awkward... There is nothing worse than an awkward moment.
Hugs are great, don't get me wrong... Just know when to give someone a hug or not! :]]
