COMMENTARY
I had ‘The Talk’ with my son on Wednesday morning. There’s no formal guidebook you’re given as a parent on these things, just memories of your own experiences and the loose idea that, “You’ll know the right time when you know.”
I found something in his drawer before he left for school. Hadn’t expected it to happen so soon, but I knew it was time.
Frankly, I don’t remember my similar chat, lost in the haze of the past, countless heartbreaks ago. I just knew I wanted him to hear it from me, and that was the only time I could be sure it would.
