the double-edged sword of the greeting *kiss*

social etiquette... it's important

the *kiss* has {replaced} the handshake for me

STANDARD greeting: it is "french" to do the

- - -kiss.kiss.kiss- - -

on your

- - -cheek.cheek.cheek- - -

bonjour & hello person I’ve never {ever} met,

please come kiss my cheek,

{3} times

haha

i l.o.v.e it, i really do

but it takes some getting used to

i've had some awk--ward moments with this greeting

not {too} many

but {1} i’d like to share:

a friend introduces me to a boy

girl {meets} boy

i stuck out my hand {to shake}

and well he didn’t really know what to do

so---> he took my hand (using the hand to pull us in)

cheek to cheek

then stiff as a robot i stammered an AWKWARD

left.right.left

haha hands still grasped
