SM - Mom, I have hair on my legs. Is that weird?Mom - Nope. It is normal. Everyone has hair on their legs. Look at your arms, you have hair there too.
SM - Hmmmm. Does that mean I am becoming a man?
Mom - Yup. It means you are growing up and becoming a young man.
SM - So does this mean my voice is going to change soon?
Mom- What? Where did you hear that? (laughing a little)
SM - At school. When you become a man your voice changes.
Mom - Well sure. Your voice will change as you grow up, but not too much. You’ll still sound like SM.
SM - Is that when I will be in charge?
Mom - In charge? (I almost fell over)
SM - Yeah, men are in charge.
Mom - No honey. That is just something Mommy lets Daddy think.

Excellent! Train them young, that’s what I say, train them young!
It’s our responsibility, afterall. We’re boys’ moms. We need to make sure they get the message LOUD AND CLEAR early on or we’ll be in deep doo-doo!
Excellent response, btw!
