So there is this thing about minimal hugs someone needs... At least 4 preferably 8 or more. [1]

Assuming you like hugs, how many a day are you getting?

@KarenDorman I'm now wondering if kids that will like this, are also familiar with maximum and minimum... 🤔

The idea of a minimum number I'm familiar with. But I am wondering if people are getting anywhere close to that.

I suspect my own kids actually learned the meaning of the words maximum and minimum from that song. They were about 3, 5 and 6 and spent time with her. 🥰

Yes. And even with a partner in my life, when things get busy or stressful, hugs are the first things to get skipped over...when they should be the priority and increased. Good hugs are the cement in treasured friendships.
