Alexander is coming dorsum this night from his 5 24-hour interval schoolhouse expedition to Taman Negara, rainforest inwards Malaysia, well-nigh 8 hrs away past times educate from Singapore. I don't know well-nigh you lot only I intend my fifth assort champaign trip was to the metropolis market. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 fighting much? On the minute 24-hour interval he was gone, I was already looking through quondam drawings he had given me together with re-thinking the whole 'away at college ane day' scenario. Maybe it's non such a proficient sentiment later all (well, at to the lowest degree non for me). It's difficult to fathom that the man child who was laid about inwards line of piece of occupation to instruct on the omnibus to the faraway (no telephone calls allowed) rainforest was the same man child who used to cling to my pants when I left him off at preschool. Not that I'm non happy he left amongst together with then much enthusiasm, because I am. Really. Just a petty teary.
Yesterday Eliot was playing amongst a friend, chatting well-nigh boyfriends, babies, together with marriage. The green stuff...for a 5 twelvemonth old? It's funny because she's together with then obsessed amongst mother-baby human relationship that instantly fifty-fifty her pets (stuffed animals amongst Bear at the helm) convey pets.
Anyway, I overheard her saying: "Oh, yes, I convey a boyfriend."
What's this, I strained to listen?
"It's the older blood brother of Alexander's friend. But nosotros don't verbalise to each other...it's besides embarassing." Ah, these modern relationships.
