My 9-year old and I are at the store the other night. Out of the blue he comes up to me and gives me a big hug, then says:
Him: "Daddy, I can give you REAL hugs now."
Me: "Thank you for the nice hug. What do you mean REAL hugs?"
Him: "My hands can touch."
Me: "Yes, you are getting soooo much bigger!"
Him: "No, Daddy. You are getting smaller."
Me: <sobbing> "I think it's a little bit of both."
Him: "Daddy, I can give you REAL hugs now."
