Mike and Lawrence were hanging out yesterday and at the store Lawrence was trying out the D-word - dad. Just tossing it at the end of sentences, telling Mike he was the best dad, daddy, dad...
Then he asked Mike if Henry was dead since he hadn't heard from him in a long time. My sweet little tactless 9 year old boy says "it's been so long I'm surprised I remember his name!"
And *poof* Mike was back to being Mike. Dad experiment abandoned. I feel for both Mike who can't quite claim that mystical title in Lawrence's life, and for Lawrence who is struggling to reconcile what he has and what he doesn't.
:( frowny face moment.
