One of my brothers is in town. He and his family arrived last Wednesday. They'll be here for about three weeks. He has three boys. Their ages are 6, 4, and 7 months.
I'm used to my three daughters. They give nice gentle hugs.
My brother's middle son came over at lunch today to give his little brother a hug. I had forgotten that for boys physical affection is really a contact sport. The four year old gave a minor head bump, push the baby around, and almost mauled him. The baby put up with it.
If one have my daughters had received a similar hug, she probably would have cried.
