Where's Your Sugar?

Zach asked me the other day, in regards to his friend:

"Mom, why doesn't Sarah's gramma give her sugar?"

I had to explain to him that Sarah's gramma isn't from the south, and doesn't know about sugar. "Sugar" is a Southern expression that can mean many things, most having to do with giving kisses or being kissed. In my mother's version, sugar is a location. It's the back of a child's neck. So when my mother asks the kids to "give me some sugar", they know to turn around and bend their heads down so she can kiss the back of their neck.

I can't wait until Zachary is on his first date and the girl asks him to pass the sugar....
