that my son has decided to give up his idea of staying single.
he made the decision one night after making his younger sister sleep. he must have been 7.
apparently it wore him out and he decided to stay single. his dislike of romance and the terms boyfriend an girlfriend kind of sealed the deal for him.
last night he suddenly asked, is it bad to be single and I said no. I wasn't connecting this to his conversation 2 years ago see.
he persisted. wont it he boring, there wouldn't be anyone to play with
I said singles can play with their friends. (ah the idealism of youth... that even as we grow up, wanting to play is the key thing on our minds- it should be !)
but they would have to check if they were free and all. yes I nodded.
then I asked , are you rethinking your idea of staying single. he nodded seriously. it couldn't be because if a girl i knew, (he's 9!). what happened i asked him.. what if I get scared and all... ?
I have sherlock Holmes and the story the speckled band to thank for this change of heart. he got sonscared reading it, he is now open to getting married!
