  • My great grandma always sung this to me and I found myself singing this when I woke up this morning. <33

  • My grandma used to sign our birthday cards with this. Miss her I do much.

  • My grandmom always use to tell us that she loves us a bushel and a peck and ar hug around the neck....she just passed away last night (2-17-12)......this saying will always be in my heart and remind me of her!!!! Love you grandmom!!! forever will you be in our hearts!!! <3

  • My pappy always sang this.. I miss him so much :(( <3

  • Had this sung to me growing up...I sang it to my kids...now to my grandkids! Thanks for sharing...and God bless!!

  • my mommy used to sing this song to me all the time when i was little. i had never heard the actual song before until today after 14 years :) aww memories <3

  • My grandmas sang this song to me all the time. She will be missed.

  • @bellazzainnocenta maybe what you'll do is sing it to your children and then your grandchildren and keep her memory alive that way

  • I'm in a play of guys and dolls and this is the most fun song!

  • My grandparents sang this to me all the time

  • My mom and dad would sing this to me every night before I went to bed. The didn't know any words besides the chorus, and they sang terribly, but it's one of the few memories I have if my dad before he died, so this song makes me so happy.

  • If anyone is interested it is also on the soundtrack for Julie and Julia with Meryl Streep as Julia Child. You may like them even the person who says their grandmom didn't sing it to them. I love a lot of this old music and musicals and old movies but that was later and of my own volition.

  • Me too! My grandmom used to sind it to me and my sisters. But no your grandmom could be the same age as my mom. I am 15 years older than most of you. My grandmom born in 1911. My mom born in 1944. So either your gmom was born 50s when Doris Day popular, or she same age as my gmom and was super hip (like mine). I sing it to my 3 neices and they sing it back. Amazing how all four generations can love and carry on. It always reminds me of the wonderful unconditional love Gmothers give.

  • my grandma sang this to me as a kid also. It funny to see so many have shared the same experience. i'm 26 right now, are most of us in the twenties?

  • @bellazzinnocenta my mema did the same thing, im getting i love you a bushel and peck tattooed

  • My mom would sing this to me all the time and now i sing it to my new baby girl in my belly.

  • My Momma always sang this to me as a kid. <3 Love her to pieces.

  • My grandma didn't know the song, but my dad sure sang this to me!

  • My mom always sang this to us every night while she dried us off after our bath.. :) <3

  • My mom used to say this to me when my sister and I were small. I'm all grown up now and live on the other side of the country and we still say this to each other before we get off the phone. Mom: 'I love you! Bushel and a peck! Me: 'A hug around the neck!'

  • My grandma also sang this to me when I was little!! :) ahhhh memories -3

  • @bellazzinnocenta How funny I just read this comment. My grandma passed away on Monday and she always told us the same and the very last time I saw her alive I told her I loved her a bushel and a peck and she replied "and a hug around the neck." So, I can fully relate to how you feel.

  • @bellazzinnocenta awwww!!! my aunt and i were just talking about how grammy/mom would sing this to us. it really really hurts when they're gone, but things like this make it seem like they're still here :)

  • I am the only one who's not here because someone sang this song to them as a baby? I'm a hotbox girl in our schools production of guys n dolls

  • @Phiglee Yeah, I'm here because of Guys and Dolls too. I'm auditioning to be Adelaide, but it's like selling your house for a ridiculously high price. I'm aiming too high, so that I can be the highest I expect to be. I'm hoping I'll be a hotbox girl too! :)

  • My mum's sung this to me since day one, but she cropped out a bit of the song so it finished "a hug around the neck *repeat* you bet your pretty life I do".
