It’s wonderous what a hug can do;
a hug can cheer you when you are blue.
A hug can say “I love you, so,” or
“Gee, I hate to see you go.”
A hug is “Welcome back again.”
A hug can soothe a small child’s pain
and bring a rainbow after rain.
The hug-there’s just no boubt about it;
we scarcely could survive without it.
A hug delights and warms and charms;
it must be why God gave us arms.
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers;
sweet for sisters, swell for brothers.
Kittens crave them, puppies love them;
heads of states are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier
and make the dullest day seem merrier.
No need to fret about the store of them;
the more you give,
the more there are of them.
So stretch those arms without delay
and give someone a hug today!
I gave my father $100 and said, “Buy yourself
something that will make your life easier.” So he
went and bought a present for my mother.

No one has been able to figure out last month’s riddle so we are once again
giving you a chance! Good Luck!
Riddle Me This….
MONTHLY RIDDLE RULES:
The first person to turn in the correct
answer to the publisher (Stacy) wins a
great prize! Once you win, you are
ineligible for six months to allow for
everyone to get a chance. DT Aides and
our publisher (front office), do not
qualify for the riddle as they see the
riddle prior to publication and have an
unfair advantage. Aww…Sorry
Whoever makes it, tells it
not. Whoever takes it,
knows it not. And whoever
knows it wants it not
Riddle solvers are eligible for great
prizes– employees get an ICMCF
shirt and residents get a personalized gift just for them.
