Huggie?

Ma,

Remember when Alex was a baby and she'd go up to anyone on the street and pick up her arms and say, "Huggie?"? She still does that. Not to strangers, but anyone she knows. When I picked Dani up yesterday and she was saying goodbye to her friend, the other girl said, "huggie!" before hugging her goodbye.

Josh says it now. The hot guy at the pizza place says it to all three of us, as he comes around the counter for his hug. For such a short kid, Alex is very influential. She should start a cult. She doesn't even TRY to talk people into it - she just gets it going naturally. Alex will be President some day. She will repair our relationship with France by hugging.

I have to go meet this guy Gorev now; he wanted to borrow my English notes. He is taking a makeup of a test I already took and I got a 92, so he wants to see how I outline.

Love,
Sam

P.S. That teacher came back the next day - a security guard stays in the classroom with her.
