Mothers of boys
I'm still lastingly amused by the conversation that Lady Malfoy (my best friend's mother) and I had.
It seems that once the mother of a boy, always the mother of a boy. We got sidetracked into a discussion about our respective little ones. Never mind that my little boy is seventeen years younger than hers. Never mind that her little boy is one year older than I am.
Yep, I'm still tripping on it.
It's a natural alliance. She's got him as many days of the week as I have the Little Fayoumis, though fewer hours. I suspect that we'll be nagging them about chores almost as much. It's like an exclusive club. I was training for it in high school. I've already been the part-time mother of a teenage boy. Two, in fact. I've done fifteen to eighteen. I did sixteen twice. I've done seventeen to twenty-one, vaguely.
Thank gods I've never been Darkside's mother.

I'm just hoping that the other kids at school and the Viking are going to keep their filthy mouths shut on the matter of homophobia.
