My son's recently rediscovered the magic of boobs. He's fascinated with boobs and will grab them if he can. It doesn't matter if they're his mother's, my mother's, random visitors...or...mine...he grabs them.
This has, no doubt, caused some consternation in my house.
The women have flat-out said that the behavior has to stop, it's unacceptable, it's embarassing, and I have to be the one to deliver the news that grabbing boobs is not appropriate. Plus he's got the vise grip of a senior steel worker clutching a winning lottery ticket.
I looked at it differently. He's only 3, and right now, his fascination with boobs is still seen as "cute" by some people, and he's free to grab as many as he wants. In another six months it won't be cute, and he really will have to stop (because I'll be hauled before a judge for raising the world's smallest letch), at which point he won't have an opportunity to touch boobs until at least 16. If he's as smooth as I was in high school, make that 19, but who's counting? And furthermore, once he's at this age 16 period of fondlage he's expected to be at least something of a gentleman, and only fondle one given woman at a time. He doesn't have that restriction right now. He can be all the three-foot cassanova he wants to be right now, and it's still "cute". I have therefore dubbed this time of his life "The Golden Age". I argued a strong case for letting him carry on for the next six months so he gets to enjoy it.
But as I'm outnumbered, male, and make sense, I was summarily overruled.
