The blessing and the kiss is something that every Puerto Rican child learns to ask for from a very young age. It’s requested from your mom and pop, grandparents and every uncle and aunt every time you see them and then upon your departure. It’s automatic and lasts a lifetime.
Allow me to paint a picture:
it’s a hot, summer night in 1967. Too hot to sleep. Three little brothers are sharing a full size bed, goofing off, laughing uncontrollably over the stupid little things 10 year old boys laugh at. One of them gets an idea (probably Dave)…. Listen in…
Now we're on the floor rollin....
God, I love that man.

The funny part about this is that Pop actually thought we said "Bendicion". Pop, as we know, has a hearing problem and his three boys were busting on him. I remember it like today.
Too Funny!!!! That is exactly what we did!!! One time we we kept doing it and pop came in and wacked us!
I heard stories about that one...
You guys haven't changed much. U still wears his shirts unbuttoned, Dave still wears long sleeves IN FLORIDA and Chicky still wears short shorts! Love ya!
A great story. The tradition has traveled to the next generation as my children and I "Sachichon" each other frequently.
