Good night Hug and Kiss

Good night Hug and Kiss

What is the acceptable procedure and proper order for giving good night hugs?

            At “The Ford Homestead”, Granny does a lot for the grandkids including taking them to town and purchasing toys. Naturally you would assume that Granny would get the first goodnight hug and kiss and only after that Papa might get a hug or occasional kiss.

            Last night at the appropriate time for the kids to head off to bed Gabi followed the normal process of Granny first and then grandpa.  All was well and then Alex started to make his round.

            Alex first came to papa (that is what he calls me) and gave me a kiss and then came right back for the hug. It should have then been Granny’s turn next, but there was a major breach in protocol.

Alex went to Tejas and gave him a hug and then a kiss on the nose.  Yes directly on the wet dog nose.  Alex then proceeded to Granny for her hug and wet kiss.

I guess granny now understands where she ranks in the “good night hug and kiss hierarchy.
