I was being a bit over-the-top maudlin. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would like to snuggle with poor me, for instance the guy who was leering at me this morning as I checked peaches for ripeness at the market.

You were right about my daughter too. She is probably even more cuddly than me. Though she is embarrassed to admit that she still snuggles with her Mom at age 14.
