when i left home and went to college and looked back with some perspective for the first time, i felt a little guilty for being mean to him. he has a big heart and he never meant any harm. i should have been more patient. but damn he was annoying!
i found these pictures of my 7th birthday party and all these feelings became crystal clear.
fine. okay. he can come to the sleepover. it's 6 girls and...chris. fine. okay. whatever. his sleeping bag goes in the corner.
great. everybody is singing and having a pillow fight. he can stay over there. inside his crayons sleeping bag.
NO! no. no. no. what the???? NOOOO! how did this happen. i hate my life. i hate this party.

...and i bet the ladies always loved him.
you don't grow up to be a ladies' man. you either are or aren't.
He always had a great nose for fun. He'd find it. Looking back...suppose we kept him upstairs ...you wouldn't have been able to share this neat memory.
ah yes, a nose for fun! and a cheshire grin. and persistence - man does the kid have persistence!
