What brings me back to LJ after such a hiatus? Mortal embarrassment. The kind you ignore as much as you can until you're far enough from everyone else to tell your best friends in privacy.
You know how, in romantic movies featuring a single parent unlucky in love, 70% of the time the kid makes some form of power play to get their parent to see what's right in front of them with the person the kid thinks they should be with? And the audience goes "awww" when it works?
Well, in real life, when your kid tries to sneak you into holding hands with someone? You completely ignore what's going on as you both turn it into a one armed wrestling match with a 7 year old.
The adults won. And will likely never speak of it again.
Unless he gets stealthier as he grows.
Cause he almost accomplished his goal before we both noticed at the same time and I think that's what he's going to take from today's experience.
In related news, 4 years has apparently not put a damper on his plans for a certain guy with regards to our family.
