When I was growing up I always kissed my mom goodnight and hugged my dad goodnight. Even up until the last night I lived at home. But, when I was 17 there was one time when I was insanely tired I kissed my mom good night and then accidentally planted a kiss on my dad's cheek. We gave each other a look of "what the hell?" and then he just started laughing, which made me laugh. I was glad it didn't have to be awkward.
There's definitely a cut off time in our society (Americans at least) for boys kissing their fathers, but for whatever reason girls can still get away with it. I think affection among family members (in a non-incest sort of way) is important.
Sorry Comics are a collection of autobiographical stories from my life. I started this process in 2006 during a tumultuous break-up and I can't seem to shake the habit. Hopefully, you'll find them to be humorous, self-effacing, awkward, funny, uncomfortable and humiliating (for both you and me).
I love this one. i was just talking to a friend the other day about the weird cut off date for stopping kissing your father.
