Little brother asking for 12 hugs a day

I asked if you guys hug your siblings and a lot of you said you do, and I think that's great. But my case is a bit more extreme. My 11 year old brother has been persuading me to give him more than 5 hugs a day by showing me some kind of 4-8-12 hug rule. Is this too much for his age? It is about one hug every hour with me or another sibling before any single activity, breakfast, school, dinner, bed time. I have come to embrace this but I am worried this could carry over until 18 and he could have some kind of complex and would easily get upset without seeing one of his other brothers.

Younger siblings bringing up memories ages ago

Is it normal for younger siblings to want to talk about things that happened ages ago? My brother (11M) happens to remember things with me all the way from when he was 6 that I never expected. Is it good or bad that he wants clarity? He could also be an overthinker so that might be exclusive to him
