"Do you need this?"

Younger Son is gathering his things to go to school.

Me:  Do you need these papers?
He:  Yes.
Me:  Do you need this book?
He:  No.
Me:  Do you need that music folder?
He:  Yes.
Me:  Do you need... a hug?
He:  No.  But I'll take one anyway.

And he did.

Darnit.
Now I think I'm gonna miss him, too, when he moves out.
