So she ended up hugging The male friend The story was rewritten with kissing taking on the symbolic meaning of a sexual relationship that we have in the united states and Canada . Province of Quebec excluded of course . Mind you not every thing is sunshine and roses about French culture . They sell small whips their in supermarkets next to the pet supply's called martinets That can be carried in a wife's purse or a husbands coat pocket . these are to be used on your kids if they get out of line .
