TRANSCRIPT
You know what time it is? It’s story time eight. I said it’s story time. Alright, so today I taught you the rule of threes and toward the end I showed you an example of a mother hugging her child. So I wanna tell you a story about my niece. Now, many of you have heard me talk about my nieces and how much I love them.
I love being an auntie, but my youngest niece, so my mom, she actually babysat my youngest niece for about two years from the time she was two years old, all the way up until she was four years old. So she was at my house every day, every day of the week. And there’s something she did on a regular basis.
As soon as she arrived at our house again, I would be working in my office. She would ask my mom. She’d called my mom, gamy grandma, but Gamy Gamy, can I go see Tee Tee? My mom would say yes, and she’d run up the stairs, knock on my door, and I’d say, come in. And she would run to me and give me the biggest hug and kiss.
Now, this happened every single day from the time she was two years old, all the way up until she’s four years old now. She’s in school, she’s in kindergarten, pre-K. Right now, she’s five. It created this strong bond between my youngest niece and I. Again, I’m close to all of my nieces, but my youngest niece, because every morning in her brain, she was going to get a huge hug, a big hug from her auntie.
She looked forward to it. Now, fast forward to a few weeks ago now she’s five years old. She doesn’t come here every day. She had come over to visit with her sister and my sister, well, her mom, which is my sister, and then my brother-in-law, the whole family came over and with her older sister. So my brother-in-law, my sister and the two kids were here, and she had come up to my room, gave me a hug, gave me a kiss, and she was talking to me.
I said, Hey, munchkin, I call her munchkin. Do you wanna go on a walk with Titi? I needed to go take a walk to take a break from work. And she immediately said, yes. I said, okay, let’s go. And she usually says, yes. Whenever I ask her to go on a walk with me, as we were walking down the stairs to go outside on the walk, she said, Titi.
I said, yes, munchkin. I wonder why I always say yes. Whenever you ask me to go on a walk, I immediately say, yes. I said, yeah, you do. And I was just fascinated by this five-year-old thinking logically about the situation. But then she said something, she said, you know, Titi, I guess it’s because I love you so much.
And when I say my heart burst, I said, munchkin, I love you too. And I gave her a big hug and a kiss. That moment will forever be imprint in my mind and on my heart. This five-year-old again for two years straight. Every weekday morning would come upstairs. I’d give her the biggest hug and the biggest kiss, and there was a strong bond created.
So much so that at the age of five she said, Titi. I just love you so much. So my nieces bring so much joy to me, but I wanted to let you guys know that story because there’s a strong bond that was created because of hugs that were given and kisses that were also given. So if you have someone in your life, your nieces, maybe nephews, or your own children, even your spouse.
Give someone a hug today and let them know how much you love them. Alright guys, I hope you enjoy today’s lesson and today’s story. I will see you next week.
