The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Is this supposed to be hidden?

I don’t know why I’m writing my comment here instead of on Northern’s post but it is wonderfully written and I really liked how you can feel his fatherly pride, fear and responsibility through every word.

Nice one Mr Northerner, lucky man with a lucky son.

It’s wrong to be sexist? It’s political correctness gone mad.

Nice kid NP. Great hair.

NP’s son DOES have a mouth like Shiloh … well spotted you trash magazine reader Baz. Of course he is very masculine, he just has the sort of mouth all male models would kill for. I tell you something else he’s got that is cool … a bunch of hair that is somehow growing into a modern style. Whereas most people have to pay huge amounts to try and have ‘rock star’ hair, NP’s little boy is actually having it grown into that style naturally … the boy is going to be famous!

OK, enough of all this – the other reason I like NP’s post so much is that he is describing things that he is seeing/feeling for the first time. I don’t know how old he is – but like the time I asked Jill’s parents if I could marry her – it was a situation that was totally new despite having lived for well over 30 years.

Given I have always been in awe of kids when they cast their eyes on something we take for granted for the very first time … it’s cool to know that life still has some surprises we can unearth as we get older.

These days its your throwaway comments I find more interesting. You’re right. Hadn’t thought of it but so little mainstream media is positive about the male role. Write that post

…and don’t put “to be honest” ANYWHERE in it or I will tear my pubes out.

His mouth looks like his Grandma’s.
His hair even has highlights would you believe. Let’s hope he continues to take after my wife’s family on the hair front, rather than his Dad (not to mention my short shins)
