We share a brain.Your teenage son comes knocking on your door.
He looks embarrassed by something he didn't even say yet.
You say, "What is it?" trying not to say, "SPIT IT OUT DAMN KID."
He asks:
"How do you know when you're in love?"
"How should I know? I've adopted you."
I peered at my son and glare intensely, "What did I tell you?"Your teenage son comes knocking on your door.

My son suddenly looks embarrassed and looks at the floor, "The only feeling a man has is Hungry."
I nodded slowly, "Therefore..."
"I can't be in love because men are incapable of feeling love."
"Exactly. Only women, children and pets are worthy of love. You are a man. You are a human doing, not a human being. If you aren't doing something, what good are you?"
My son nods his head, "Thanks dad. I got confused."
I force a smile, "Let's see that phony grin of steel!"
My son forces a smile back at me. We each give the other a thumbs up and turn away, each smile vanishing as soon as nobody sees it. My son walks away, the distance between us growing wider... and wider...
