Meaning

Hug

Mnemonic

Take your fingers and wrap them around another person. This is called a hug. Just make sure you include all the stuff attached to your fingers, like your hands and arms too, otherwise it's more of a squeeze, and we don't want to do that to people.

Picture it like you're a baby who is new to hugs. You start with your fingers, spread them out and move forward. Now wrap all that stuff attached to your fingers around another person. You did it! You're hugging now!
