It can be depressing sometimes to know that you won't be able to enjoy the presence of the kid forever. I think that if you will always be there for him, and do things he want to do, he'll stick close to you over time, since you're a good friend to him. I saw my YF last night. I took him on my shoulders, we had fun and all. Let me put it this way: When someone of my age saw us playing he asked how old I was... I said I was like a kid to the kids. I'm still playful, and that's why I can enjoy his presence... last sunday (I spoke about it earlier) I allowed him to spray some deodorant in my pants... (Don't ask). Later, we were talking about if he and I slept naked. I said I did (I still do), and he was surprised... Well, in the end he managed to steal my pants, and I was there in my underwear... If he managed to pull those down too, he would've seen me in my full glory... I resisted... My concience wouldn't allow me to let it go on any further... I don't know about him... Last night when I saw him, he wasn't cold to me about what happened or anything... he was more cheerful then ever, I think... Could be between my ears too. :-P |
