And you didn't get sued for unwanted touching!? Amazing... where were all the lawyers at the moment?
OK, so it's only partially toungue-in-cheek.... but I think you get the point... this is where our society is slowly developing a disconnect between youth and adults... all these stupid lawsuits and "political correctness" and crap like that which is removing the personality from every day life.
On the other hand (and much more importantly)... GOOD FOR YOU! Our kids' band teacher behaves similarly... and the kids respond in a like fashion. I've seen someone (usually one of the larger lads) from her band pick her up in a huge hug every year during the annual commencement and awards ceremonies. They really appreciate all that she does for them including the "donkey-work" organizing the band's activities and annual trip.
