JunkYard, I was thinking about your post last night too! And the thing that really gets me is that you should be proudest that your son came to you first with a question... you are the guy who knows the answers!!! He's not asking his buddies, or the neighbor, or crazy Uncle Chester... you're the MAN!
Well, that makes me feel good and is what I have wanted since he was born.. ..that he comes to me instead of crazy uncle chester, lol! I'm proud of him because he's so bold and understanding. He looks for answers, and doesn't settle for status quo; he searches, asks questions, and always finds his own way. I'm proud because he understands that he can come to me about anything, we talked about other stuff that night, but only after he got my response about MJ. I think that in and of itself showed him that he could trust me with other things too.

I'm proud because I have a good kid; he's very intelligent, his heart is gold, and I know he's not scared to challenge those who would lead him with bs. He's very independent, but he also knows that he doesn't have all the answers, so he actually listens when talk to him.

You know what's funny? He loves to prove me wrong! I think it's fun because he has a few times, and I can see how much he enjoys searching things out, and finding truth on his own. He doesn't settle on just my view, or others. This very fact eases my mind on so many levels. All I have to do is allow him to be his own man w/o instilling/pushing my own views down his throat. I can guide, but ultimately he's going do more reading and searching, and he'll find out for himself before he jumps, which means he won't use or do things unless he fully knows beforehand the risks. This much I have noticed about his character in the last couple years. He's a great kid, and I trust him fully.

Thanks, stinkyattick!


Much Love,
