Ewwww!

Ayelet Waldman, Salon: Even now, although Zeke's [age 7] pride does not allow him to linger in my arms for much longer than a minute or so, he still calls for me to lie with him at night, he still gives me ‘movie kisses’–kisses that last for a little longer than usual and involve a lot of twisting of the head and moaning.

Sooo gross.

And I say this as a mother of a grown son. This is genuine ick.

(And what's with the brackets?)

Sorry, Ayelet, but from all grownup parents: get help.

it's always very sweet to hear from you. interestingly, i had a note from a man who said that article was one of the most disturbing things he's read. i think we have to take him at his word; he's been a son. i can only repeat: eewww.

thanks, i haven't been welll-as always the people and reading here, on the web, is a marvelous relief. i got sooo nostalgic reading you about the dead. they need more money? crazy times indeed.
