It&#8217;s unfortunate that we live in a time where so much is sexual. Innocent things are now viewed as sexual and things that should never, ever be sexual are now actually sexual. People are saying that it&#8217;s sick and twisted that he&#8217;s <em>tongueing\u00a0<\/em>down his daughter. Except, that is not what he&#8217;s doing.<\/p>\n<p>I think people are more likely to understand and appreciate this father-daughter kiss if they experienced it, too. And I did. Growing up, I kissed both my parents on their lips and we said &#8220;I love you&#8221; all the time, and for me, it was the norm. It wasn&#8217;t until my friends witnessed the relationship between me and my parents and told me we were weird\u00a0that I realized my life with my parents was not the same with everyone. I still kiss them on the lips. I kiss my grandma and aunt on the cheeks, and that&#8217;s because I didn&#8217;t grow up kissing them at all. I have kissed my friends (Solachi and Funmie) on their lips, too. It&#8217;s just normal to me.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not as if I go around kissing people on their lips &#8212; or kissing them at all. It&#8217;s all about the relationship I have with the person. As for\u00a0Bill Belichick and his daughter, I think that instead of turning what seems to be a genuine moment of love, affection, and celebration into something nasty and sick, we should instead all hope to have this closeness with our parents and children.<\/p>\n<p>When I have children, I hope their complaint would be that their mom kisses them way too much, but that they love her anyway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note to Bill Belichick:<\/strong> I still don&#8217;t like you for winning the Super Bowl, but on kissing your daughter, I stand solidly behind you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Super Bowl was this past Sunday and I&#8217;m still too upset to even talk about the Seahawk&#8217;s loss.
