wet aunt Jeanie kisses

I probably should be blogging about the

Japan Tsunami disaster but it is too depressing for me

today as we prepare for our little Jillian.

So, yesterday was speaking to my cousin, Fay

on facebook and explaining wet aunt Jeanie kisses

and realized many do not even know what that means

when I sign,

"Wet Aunt Jeanie kisses"

Figured it was warranting a blog entry on this

beautiful Saturday Morning.

I have this wonderful Aunt Jeanette.

She loves big and a lot.

The one thing she is known for in our family

is her wet kisses.

While growing up you could not escape

the kiss of Aunt Jeanie.

It consisted of a big, big pucker that

was saliva stained and left its mark

long after the kiss was planted.

I loved those kisses but not every one did.

So when you kissed someone and the wetness

stayed for some time it was called an

Aunt Jeanie kiss.

Here came the babies and I slathered them with

big wet Aunt Jeanie kisses.

Although they didn't know Aunt Jeanie like I did

they knew the story and when they received the

real ones from Aunt Jeanie at Mardi Gras time they

understood just what a Aunt Jeanie kiss consisted of.

So they, the babies, perfected the kiss.

You had to lick your lips really, really good

around and around until they were really wet

then the pucker had to be big, big so as

to leave the wetness on the person receiving

for a long long time.

The babies perfected the kiss and I am pretty good

at giving them.

So if ever you get a letter or email from me and the

salutation says,

"Big wet Aunt Jeanie kisses to you"

you know exactly what you are getting

the best kiss ever!
