I cannot study while I eat–I don’t know, it’s just how I’m wired. So, when not able to enjoy a meal across the table from or on the grass with people I at least sort of like, I normally retreat to comforting books (Harry Potter) or the internet.
Just now, over my chicken caesar salad, I caught wind of “Dear Hypothetically Gay Son.” I am hooked. And this is why I’m posting the day before my shelf exam (please wish me luck!). In my mind, this letter is the best; it conveys an abundant supply of support while still admitting to surprise and ignorance. I’d really like to be this type of parent.
Also, I have renewed confidence that my current dancing ineptitude will be enough to get me through at least the first couple years of our daughter’s life.

Hi! This is John, from Ask Your Dad. I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your kind words about my post. I’m glad I found your blog. I’ll be reading!
Hi! Wow! John! Thank you so much for stopping by…I feel kind of like a celebrity just struck up a conversation with me. As I know you’ve been told by very many people, your blog is fantastic, and that particular post that went viral is perfect, simply exactly what I would want my hypothetically gay son (or daughter) to know. Thank you again for your comment, and congrats on the new addition!
