Will and the Loons @wmrine.bsky.social · 10/10/2026We lucked because our son was a hugger when he was young, and he loved his big sister especially. When he got to be 4-5 she started minding it, and he was old enough to learn, “Everyone gets to decide who touches them, no means no.” Before that, we were struggling to think how we’d teach him. 110

Whereas the younger adults would say, “Too much trouble, let’s drive!” Which also meant, “spend a lot of time trying to park in San Francisco and being mad about the parking tickets.” 040
