I Think He’s Perfect
I had this conversation with my son yesterday.
Me: Did you talk to your new girlfriend today?
Daniel: No. We don’t talk at school. I have to get her phone number and call her in private. Then, no one can see us talk and make fun of us for being together.
Me: Okay. Well, that stinks. But, how did she get to be your girlfriend?
Daniel: I put a secret note in her Valentine!
Me: That’s very sweet, honey.
Daniel: blushes
Daniel: I’m supposed to get her phone number from her friend Megan tomorrow.
Me: Well, then you can talk and get to know each other.
Daniel: I already know we’re perfect for each other.
Me: Oh?
Daniel: Neither one of us care about if people are gay or not gay or somewhere in the middle.
Me: Oh? But you can’t talk at school, right?
Daniel: Yeah, but these other kids were calling a boy “gay” and saying he had a boyfriend like it was a bad thing and I started to jump up to help the kid, because you know they don’t know what they are talking about, but she got there first. Mom, it was like I was talking! She’s perfect, perfect for me.
I just love that boy.

Awwwww. I hope my son grows up to be as sweet as your son. I’m happy to hear that he still talks to you. I have often heard boys stop talking to their moms around 10 or 11. And while my little guy talks NONSTOP and sometimes I wish he wouldn’t, I hope he never feels like he can’t talk to me.
You are a good mom!

So far, he talks with me a lot! He was my nonstop talker so maybe your boy will do the same!
