Boys Beg Today, Men Beg Tomorrow

My little boy who goes to 1st grade asked me to "pick him up 1 hour early" after he woke up,  I said I would consider it.  Throughout breakfast he asked me again, I claimed I would consider it.  While getting dressed he asked yet again and responded to my "I'll consider it" with a "Are you sure?, you think you will?".  When I drove him to school he proceeded with the same request, consideration, and the search for affirmation to the early pick up.

Once we arrived to school, he said - "You are not going to do it", "I know you are not, right?".  I smiled and said I would consider it.

Driving home it made me think about the need to know, the definitive answer, the yes or no.  My child's day revolved around my answer...

It is no different for men, women, and sex.

10:00AM -Honey, can we have sex tonight?, yes?, really?, great!....
2:00PM -Honey, are you sure we are having sex tonight?, you promise?....
6:00PM - Honey, please tell me you're not going to get a headache or anything.....
8:00PM - Honey, you're not tired are you?....
10:00PM - We're not having sex are we?.....
