I know you've seen them...those memes all over Facebook. The ones that say, "I just need someone to hug me..."
Not me. I think hugs are stupid. Hugs are useless.
Hugs are a way for you to show me you care without actually putting any effort into showing me you care. Hugging me may make you feel magnanimous, but they don't do a thing for me. They don't accomplish anything. If you really want to show me you care, there are lots of better ways to do it.
Cut my grass
Air up my tires
Take the car in for an oil change
Fix my washing machine
And the wonky drawer in the kitchen
Do the little things
The little things to lift some of the burden off of me
Take the trash out
Let the dog out. And in. And out. And in. And out... and so on
Wash a dish or two
Sweep the floor
Cut the privet out of my back fence
And the dead spots out of my roses
Fix the hole in the laundry room wall
And my plumbing.
Replace the broken windows in my house
Build me a mantle
Split some firewood
Deal with these contractors so they won't rip me off because I'm "just a dumb female who won't know any better."
There are a million little things you can do to show me you care.
Just don't give me a hug.
Hugs are stupid.
