Learn Explore and Play This is a site that I created for parents, teachers, nannies or anyone who spends time with kids. It's still new, but I'm hoping that it will give fun and inspiring ideas to encourage kids to LEAP and live.

I'm back to blogging and I am welcoming 2012 with an age-old question:

Are the Xs the hugs, or the kisses?

I have never questioned that they are, indeed the hugs. For 2 reasons:

1. Xs always come first, and you say "hugs" first
therefore it must be the X

2. When you cross your arms in a hug, they kind of make an X. When you pucker up for a kiss - you make a O shape. Not the other way around.

So, there you have it. A life mystery is solved...

Or not. What do YOU think?


Listen (below) as I read The Smooch Moocher from my podcast - the Carrie Heyes DooPod: poetry for kids! It was first published in my poetry book, duck... duck... moose!
