Check it out.

My son, who is eight, has gotten to that phase, which

I believe it is a phase, hopefully, where

he will look at me with like

very, very sexy eyes and then passionately kiss me.

And I didn't know this was coming.

Like it's kind of like, you know, you expect phases, you expect

your kid to pick their nose for a couple years.

You expect, you know, them not to wipe their butt for a couple years.

You expect them to be obsessed with slime for a couple years.

But now it's like,

I had to actually tell him that he can't kiss me like on TV.

And the other day no one was home and it was just he and I.

And I was actually like uncomfortable the way that he was looking at me.

Oh my gosh.

And it's the saddest thing because I, I mean, I am like, she is such a mama boy.

Yeah, I can't imagine why he'd be looking at you like that.

No, and so part of me is like really proud of him and like, oh, always love your mother that much.

And the other part of me is like, oh, no oh oh no i mean there's no tongue this is not a tongue kiss no no but it is like uh

it's like a tv kiss i mean i think it is a face and like grabs my face and it's oh yeah i mean have you guys been i well so i know it's a face because i i remember doing that to my dad what like i

I totally remember.

I remember it so clearly.

You know, same thing.

Like I had watched something on TV.

You get to an age where you're starting to absorb what you're and you see people kiss or you see your parents kiss.

And I was in my room and I was standing, like I was on my bed and maybe my dad was saying goodnight to me.

I don't know.

But I stood up on my bed.

So I was like same height as him.

How old were you?

Oh, gosh.

I don't know.

Let's say.

16.

Let's say.

Now you know about Tracy.

Let's say eight and under just to be safe.

I mean, I had to have been young.

And I did the same thing.

He went to give me a hug and I like leaned in and I like tilted my mouth and did the thing where you sort of move you try to move your lips on someone else's lips and he's never done this in his life he literally just took his hand on my chest and just went

and just pushed me down on my back oh my god well yeah I mean he was horrified well what's amazing is that that's your memory like you have that memory because it obviously was like your first sense that it wasn't okay right right and so how how can we gently

without throwing our kid down?

Like, I don't blame him for a second.

I mean, but how do you, you know, when am I, I'm just gonna break his heart.

I don't think so.

You're his.

And you're not his girlfriend.

I am not him, not his girlfriend, but I will be always, I will love him more than anything.

Yeah, I think he'll get it.

I mean, it's just a, he's just, he's just, it's just a phase.

He'll get it.

You just say you can't kiss mom like that.

Yeah, it's pretty wild.

It's new and it's kind of ongoing.

And it's so much so.

Literally, my husband husband said the other day when he did it in front of him, my husband goes, get a room.

Oh my gosh.

And I was like, ooh.

Yeah.

Oof.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know how you, how you shut that one down, but you might want to.

I love the snuggles.

I'll snuggle.

Oh, sure.

But then he like grabs my face with his hands and like, which you also love.

I mean, it's just, oh, everybody feels that way about their boys.

That's just amazing.

I always say, like, I want my daughter to grow up and be president of the United States.

And I want my son to grow up and snuggle with me when he's 50.

And that's probably what's wrong with this world right now.

That just sums it all up.

It really does.

Yeah.
