Do I Have To Kiss Everybody???

[mmoon]

It's all about the air kiss...a lovely smooching sound with minimal, or no, actual lip to cheek contact!!
Problem.
Solution.

They grab your arm and pull you forward for the kiss.
It's terrible, unavoidable. A totally warm-blooded custom. :lol:

It obligatory to kiss the plumber if there is a showing of plumber butt.

in US, usually what you see is plumber's butt crack.

When someone to whom you are blood-related divorces from someone else.
Besides, the structure is the simplest part of each family. The issue are the single persons.

Jokes aside, I don't know how old are you, but I was born in 1983 and a lot of people of my age have divorced parents, leading to very odd consequences, children of the new husband/wife coming in, former family members with whom you grew up with that are suddenly out of the picture,...

An impressive turnover of people and their respective families... it is really hard to stick to "common rules" in these cases.

I definitely rule out men with any kind of facial hair.

I air kiss everyone who leans toward me with their arm raised. It's an automatic reaction now. Can lead to embarassment on the subte.

It felt awkward the first time my future father-in-law kissed me, but I got accustomed to it.

I can relate to that with my mother-in-law. The first time, there was little too much tongue.
