And I was fine with that. Whenever we went to my grandparents's, my grandmother would always hug us when we left, and I always hated that. (Actually, both Cory and Kathy would hug me the few times of the year that we saw them together, and, again, didn't care much for it.) So, yeah, the aversion started early for me.
