My Kissin' Boy

I just want to note that I was surprised by the overwhelmingly negative response about the Ender kissing story. Then when Wes read it he thought I wrote it in such a way that made it sound worse than it really was. So, I just want to make sure to say a couple things. 1-I was just trying to tell the story in a humorous way and set up the Richard Dawson thing just right, and in the process may have made it seem worse than it was. 2-and this is the more important thing, Ender does not kiss people for the reaction, he does it because honestly, he is a genuinely loving and affectionate kid. None of his stranger kissing events were really a huge deal. Even the bagger, though his initial reaction was a surprised mortification, he wasn't too phased by it and he still liked Ender when we went back a few days later! And the other 2 ladies, well, lets be honest, they loved it and it endeared Ender to them!

Like I said, I must have made it sound a lot worse in my attempt to humorously set up the Dawson parallel. Also, as as side note, he is saving his kisses now for family and mostly he is going to save them (and I quote) for his "future wife cause she is the only girl that gets all my lip kisses!" So, watch out family and future wife-I think a lot of love is comin' your way!
