I need a shower now.

Today marks a milestone in my world of pizza delivery. I was hugged for the first time by a child. I've been hugged by children before - I used to run a children's theater workshop - but this was the first time while delivering. It was awkward. The little boy said "I saw you when you got here," then, while I was in the middle of giving the man of the house his change, the boy just up and hugged my leg out of nowhere.

Don't get me wrong; it was precious. I love kids, in fact the title of this entry is a joke. But again, it was just kind of awkward. Having never had that happen to me before, I was unsure of how to react. His father pulled him off my leg for me, gave me my tip, and I was off.
