joshua i am. not sam green ham.
i've told a couple people about this. last friday a guy that i work with named ben started talking to me about his kids. i said something like, 'they are growing up before you know it, aren't they?' he said, 'yeah, man. my son is seventeen and my daughter is thirteen. this may sound fucked up or weird for me to talk about, but my daughter started her period last week.' i looked around the floor trying to focus in on one thing to help me capture what i should say, got it, 'yeah, man.' tap tap tap went my foot tracing the saw dust on the floor.
still i don't know what i should have said. i can't relate by telling the story of when i started my period. i don't have a daughter so i can't say that i dread that day. there is absolutely nothing i could say. i guess i need to pull him aside and ask him what he wanted me to say.
