Growing up, I had many friends who would Kiss their parents on the lips. It always made me uncomfortable because it seemed like such an intimate gesture. In my family, a kiss on the cheek is customary, and a kiss on the lips is strictly reserved for husbands and wives. But I think the tides may be changing. Recently, I watched a mother give her little girl a kiss on the lips and it seemed like the sweetest, most natural thing in the world.

What are your thoughts on kissing friends and family members on the lips? Does it strike you as odd?
