Thanks!

I’m not beautiful, and I’m only very mildly talented, though.

I'll assume he's male, since you call him he and son.
It's tricky but I think I can figure it out.

He goes by “he” and “him,” but I’d have no trouble with changing that down the road based on his needs.

Of course you wouldn't.

I was just thinking out loud about pronouns for people who identify as male.

When my son got home from a vacation with my religious family, I asked: “They didn’t convert you, did they?”

He said: “I’m offended! Do you really have that low of an opinion of me?!”

I told him that he was practically perfect in every way, just like his mother.

“What are your thoughts on Nestle’s business practices?”

"On average, how many times per day do you think about the Roman Empire?"

As usual, it was completely out of the blue. He thinks about the Roman Empire "at least ten times per day. Maybe 20."

Out of the blue, he asked:

"Would it be okay with you if I was a Roman legionary for Halloween next year?"

“I think gendered bathrooms are a scam of the bathroom company so they can sell more bathrooms.”

“You are the best mom in the whole world.”

I’m not (although I try), but I appreciate the sentiment.

Me: would you like your sandwich cut into squares or triangles?

Him: hexagons

Me:……

Me: don’t back talk to me you will get in trouble.

Him: what if I front talk?

Me:…..

My son made up a hilarious joke that went too far to highlight the absurdity of a certain type of bigotry. (Maybe he’ll grow up to be a comedian.) I gave him a look, and he said: “Mom, I can’t help it. I take after you.”
