Greetings, listeners. Once again it is I, Gruncle Vaxie. Today we will discuss how to tell what your grown-up is feeling. Yes, I know. You are surprised. But it is true—grown-ups have feelings, just like regular people! And just as it is important to practice empathy with regular people, it is also important to practice empathy with your grown-ups. It can be quite difficult to tell what your grown-up is feeling. They are often very busy and distracted by adult concerns like tax returns, performance reviews, and adequate flossing. But today we will learn some tips for assessing the emotional state of your grown-up and whether they might need a hug. And remember, you can always simply ask your grown-up how they are feeling and if they would like a hug. You may practice with me now. Thank you for asking. Yes, Gruncle Vaxie has many deep feelings. And yes, he would like a hug. That was very kind of you. And although the universe remains a bewildering kaleidoscope of conflicting demands, I feel much better now.
