A couple of nights ago, Craigley remembered for the
umpteenth time that ASid hit him with a golf club many moons ago! ASid was at a
mini golf birthday party and he was around 5 or 6 years old then! In my
opinion, it could have been an accident. However, in Craigley's opinion, it was
a deliberate hit by ASid!
So, Craigley brought it up again. This time, he made
it sound even more melodramatic than ever before. He said something like,
"I can't believe my own blood hit me with a golf club…my own blood!". I couldn't resist and I said something to the
effect of, "Maybe it is my blood
in ASid that took a swing at you!" At which point, ASid had an outburst,
"Why can't I have my own blood? Why does it always have to involve you
both! I am my own person!".
I actually felt for ASid and quickly let him know
that his father's and mother's blood does not need to define him! He is his own
person. Even as ASid was beginning to appreciate the small gesture of comfort
from his mother, Craigley had to have the last word...
If you ever need
blood, they first check with family! You still might need my blood!
As much as a child is a product of his or her parents,
s/he is indeed a separate entity! I personally believe that ASid is in many
ways better than the 2 people who produced him. Life is not a simple mix of a
couple of biological factors; it is a bit more complicated than that!
…at least here, I get to have the last word!
