I have a small person and we’re working hard on enforcing physical autonomy (you don’t have to touch other people and you can say they can’t touch you) but it’s not incomparable with teaching manners.
OMG my almost-3 year old son does this thing where he just puts his face against your face and holds it there like he’s drawing power from you and it is so deliciously cute I want to bottle it and sell it to people. Then he adds “I yuh you mommy” and forget it.
Guaranteed NO ONE has ever offered to high five Price George and he’s thinking “What barbarity is this Canadian greeting?”
I noted that and was pleased that no-one forced the contact issue, I did a little squee at Trudeau demonstrating good consent decorum. *swoon*
Awww, I think he tried the “high five” move, which is good for kids - much lower commitment and less intimidating than a hug or handshake.

A MILLION TIMES THIS. What is wrong with people not knowing how to clean every part of themselves like a grown-ass adult? No one wants to smell you. Clean your ass every 24 hours and stop assaulting my nostrils. Jesus Christ on high.
