I'm part Italian and Puerto Rican, so it's double the hug intensityView attachment 586613
I think I got a hug for my birthday once.
During a HS hockey game our goalie was on his back so I layed down in front of a slap shot and stopped a goal. When the play was dead our goalie came over and threw his arms around my shoulders and squeezed. Is that what this "hug" thing is that you all keep talking about? If it is I don't think I like them. I felt very uncomfortable having a sweaty kid "hug" me on the ice in front of several hundred people. Gives me the creeps just thinking about it.
