I go to school: I give Tamlin a handshake

I’m having a bad day: I give Tamlin a handshake

I’m having a good day: I give Tamlin a handshake

I just feel like a handshake: I give Tamlin a handshake.

I leave school: I give Tamlin a handshake

Does something seem wrong about that? The fact that two 12/11 year olds are shaking hands is only half the problem. The other half is the fact that in every handshake we should be hugging.

Tamlin and I are very ‘huggy’. It’s cool for us. If something bad happens I give her a hug and vice versa. It’s a universal way of children (especially girls) to say good morning and goodbye. I’m pretty sure most generations do it. Not ours.

Apparently hugs have been banned. Now, I wasn’t at school for a week and that’s how I have been greeted. It’s cruel really. Apparently two children, (for grade 5. GRADE 5 ?!?!)  A boy and a girl were found hugging (in different peoples versions there might have been some kissing action to help to the suspicion that it may be more then just friends). The principal was addressed and the next day there was a serious talk from our principal. I think they took this out of proportion and until they add it to our set of rules and our code of conduct I will continue to give Tamlin hugs. And anyone else for that matter… 😉
