A conversation Z and I had a few weeks ago:
Zachariah: Did you tell the bishop where I was?
Fiona: No, I didn't really have a chance to talk to him. Just kissed him.
(Though I'm sure you all have figured it out, since I normally wouldn't kiss bishops, Uruguay is one of those countries where you do the kiss-greeting thing. I'm not that great at it. This past Sunday, I totally missed the bishop's cheek and went in for another shot at it, which I think was not the normal thing to do, since a confused expression and an awkward pause followed. At least he didn't turn at the last minute...try explaining that one to the whole primary.)

At first it may seem odd, but then it becomes habit. And eventually years later you find yourself still fighting the urge... I only missed once, but it was the bishop's mom. That is all the detail I will give on that one.
You have to kiss everyone you say hi to on the cheek? oh yuck!!!!!!
Still not a fan of the whole 'kiss-greeting' idea...you see it all the time here (as you two know), and in my opinion, it's a time waster...examples: a) Someone shows up to a table of friends, and instead of just sitting down and saying hello, everyone has to get up and awkwardly lean over the table to do the kiss-greeting. Waste of time and uncomfortable. b) Someone comes to work and they have to go and kiss all the other employees, which means that less work is getting done This has been bothersome as I stand in line for train tickets, and instead of the counter person actually doing their job, they are busy kissing the two other employees that just came in. Also occurs at the bank,the post office, and the grocery store, causing the lines to be slower and time to be wasted (the theme of my comment). I could go on, but basically, the whole point of this rant is that the kiss-greeting is utterly inefficient (awkward and time-wasting). Just say 'hello' and be done with it. Goodness.
Oh weirdness. I don't think I would like it. Hugs suit me fine.
lol, that's really funny. It's completely different, but it makes me think of you and the chiropractor thing...
HAH AHHHA i think that is Great makes for some awkward conversation though doesnt it ?
by the way is it weird for Zac??? I mean he barely likes hugs how does he do with kissing evereyone???
we don't do as much of that in Ireland....only with family and closer friends. Love, Mom xox
p.s. who is "me?"
LOL LOL LOL I too wnat to know how Z does with the kissing thing since he barely hugs.... The pictures turned out today on my internet.... so I got to really enjoy them. Much love Grandma Buttons
i forgot to mention the poop cracker thing is a crack up. Ask rochelle about the time robyn went to church with out any underwear or Maria and the baby who always had bad gas durring sacrament.
Love Grandma Buttons
Nice! Sounds like a classic Fiona moment, haha or lol! Wow, I loved reading all your posts, I feel so reconnected! They are getting so big! and sooo cute! I too love the hugging pictures, they are so sweet! Oh, and the vaccuum one is hilarious! It took me forever to get Brigit to let me do pig tails, Nuala is sooo cute! Bran too of course.
Zac says he doesn't mind hugging and kissing "normal" people. I'm not sure what he means by that, I mean, he hugs and kisses ME just fine, haha! Kidding. Z, like a common rat, can adapt to almost anything. But he is awesomer than a common rat.
Mom, "me" is Roshelle...and the chiropractor thing! One of my finer moments. Thanks for the reminder, Tooks.
I don't know if it's a midwest thing or what, but whenever I visit family back in Ohio, everybody kiss greets eachother on the mouth. It's sooo uncomfortable. I'll try dodging and go for a cheek and they'll follow through to get ya right on the lips. ech.
