The Bro Hug

Last night I had my friends over to watch Castle, as per usual, and when my friend Darryl came, Charlie came into the lounge to greet him. He, Charlie, had his 'serioius' face on, so I could tell he was Up To Something.

Charlie clasped Darryl's right hand in his own, then threw his left arm across Darryl's shoulders in what can only be described as a 'bro-hug'.

It was, quite obviously, something new Charlie had learned, and he wanted to try it out.

I'm glad he's learning these important life skills.

That's fascinating. Shame it seems to only focus on Asperger's.
