Whether I want to or not, Lap Chicken demands hugs every time I’m in his yard.
Even if it’s the 365th time I’ve gone through it that day.
If I try to ignore it, get in a rush and don’t look between my feet before I resume walking, or do anything other than sweep him off his feet for a squeeze, he will place himself strategically in position to commit the perfect crime of passion à la Romeo y Juliet.
Sigh…
Have you hugged your lap chicken today?
A hug a day keeps the doctor away…. And I mean that in both a literal way and a legally-binding way.
