Why I Love Him

He leaned in close, his arm draped across the top of the seat, gazing at me.

I was resting my head against my seat leaning in toward him. I was trying to hand him something while we were talking.

I don't remember what it was that we'd been talking about, but he suddenly reached out, and with a very gentle touch, moved a lock of hair off my face.

"Have I ever told you you have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen?" he asked.

"No, you haven't."

He looked a me and smiled. "Let's go get our pizza!"

What?

I asked, "so does that mean you think I have beautiful eyes?"

"Mom, I'm hungry. I want my pizza. We can discuss your eyes later."

Yes, the same person who'd just tenderly brushed hair from my face and uttered such sweetness was Little Dude.

I don't know where he gets this stuff, but someday, he's going to be one helluva good man. Infuriating, if he skirts the issues with his girlfriend or wife like he did me, but overall, a good man.

Go, Little Dude!

Oh, and the infuriating part? That will actually work to his advantage. Too much of a pushover, and they'll walk all over him. Take it from someone who learned that the hard way.

Hey for compliments like that, it's worth a pizza. Hope he finds a girl who can cook :-)

It must be in their genes.

He's learning all the right moves! Get their interest and then change the subject!

I was teaching my son to say the following when he saw any of his teachers at school (he was 5 at the time):

"Say, you look great! Are you losing weight?"

My wife like to beat me senseless.
