Topic: Saying goodbye to kids: did i do it wrong?

I know I'm not supposed to talk about kids but this recent thing left a very bad after taste.
I was in a grill party and when it was time for all the kids to go to sleep, I was outside and so all of them went outside to say good night. Not liking it when i am hugged, I kinda paniced and as a result I ordered them all to stand in line and so I would hug one kid, pat it on the head and then I would do the same thing x5.
When I came inside a child said what happened and everyone looked at me and laughed. Felt bad man.

you need to learn to shrug and say, "Icelandic tradition."
when i do something embarrassing i look everyone in the eye and say, 'Murrica!
and everyone understands.

Tell them you thought having the kids form an orderly queue would be a more efficient way to hug them. It ensures each kid gets an equal hug and pat on the head.

Yeah that would have been a great excuse when I was there. Not going back there in a while though!

Yes. You're meant to strap a bomb to yourself and shout 'allah akbar'. It is the polite thing to do in this day and age.

You mean, that there actually isn't a right way and I'm over thinking this?

That isnt so bad, but I dont see why you hugged them at all. I dont like being hugged, and so the only child that I hug is my nephew and I do that sparingly.

Yeah.

The problem was that there was a girl I'm the god father of, she expects a hug.
Can't just hug one kid and wave good night to the rest
Yeah.

You could point out since there is no such thing as god that you cannot be a godfather and so you are no longer required to hug her.

@OP> When I came inside a child
Are you going to try to tell the fora that this was another of your little "accidents"?

French kissing in France is just kissing. It's like eating Brazil nuts in Brazil, they are just nuts.
