'Can I give, like, a quick hug?'
Today I had three groups of students in the library.
During the first group consisting of seven boys, two of them (who are cousins), starting to hit each other.
I called both of them out of the library and told the rest to continue their work. After I closed the library door, I just said 'Hug.' to them.
They both looked at me and started to giggle. I repeated the word and waited. They just couldn't stop giggling and looked at me with hesitation. I said that the best way to resolve the problem is to give each other a hug. Besides, I reminded them it is common to see Muslim men hugging one another when they meet in the mosque.
After about 30 seconds, one of them said, 'Can I give, like, a quick hug?'
I said a quick hug is fine as long as it is a hug.
They then gave each other a hug and we all went into the library.
Very interesting observation....
