It is like he has discovered that there are staplers in the world &#8212; that is how straightforward (and totally CLUELESS) he is about it all.  The other day I asked him what he was doing and he said, &#8220;I&#8217;m looking at your br**sts.&#8221; And then he laughed.  Jon and I laughed, too, because the way he said it was hilarious.  But a split second after laughing, I felt a sudden deep sense of foreboding.  Maybe it&#8217;s not too late for us to move somewhere remote?  I have a feeling that all of this is only going to get harder.  <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the two middle boys don&#8217;t want to know or have anything to do with girls and their visible anatomy.  I&#8217;m going to count that as a blessing.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heaven Help Us My youngest son told me today that he has a girlfriend.
