Hug, Please?

One day, I was passing a little girl in the hallway.  She was sitting the hallway reading to another child.  She was very young and not in my class yet.  However, she did know me. 

As I passed, she jumped up, yelled "I want a hug!"  and wrapped her arms around me.  Boy could she squeeze.

After a few seconds passed and she hadn't let go, I started to pat her on the head and shoo her away.  Before I could manage it, however, she lets go, yells "I'm done." and sits back down, just as if nothing had happened. 

Guess she had her fix for the day.

Hug?

Our first day back after Christmas, a girl from the Kindergarten class (which I don't teach) comes up at breakfast and asks, "Can I hab a hug?"

I lean over a little and she wraps her little arms around me while I pat her head.

With arms around me, she announces, "My hands are weally, weally sticky."

Thanks sweety. Makes me all warm inside. :)
