A Hug A Day

Dear Mrs. S,

I know you are my boys' Kindergarten teacher and I'm sure you have a good reason to keep your lines of students nice and straight while walking through the halls of the school.  But, if their sister tries to give them a hug while they are in line please don't make them feel like they are doing something wrong by hugging her back.  They are only little for such a short time and in a few years they'll be too embarrassed to give each other hugs at school.  Plus, it's been studied and proven that children who get lots of hugs are smarter than those who don't.  So please give them just a second out of line to embrace their sister.  They'll even be better students for you if you do.

Thank you!
