My husband and I have a "step" thing; when I stand on a single step (we use to have one in the middle of our office at our old house; my "half" of the office was above the step and about 3/4th of the room and my DH's was below the step and 1/4th :-) he and I are the "right" height and fit extremely well together. So, when he wants a hug, he goes to the bottom of a step and stands there grinning until I notice what he is doing or I go and stand on a step and do the same thing We definitely look like crazy loons running when we see a single step anywhere and standing (often with our back to the other person :-) waiting patiently. My husband even orders, "Assume the position!" LOL.
