The Birth Of Puberty

The temperature in New York is below freezing.

This afternoon my longtime fiend AK phoned from Jupiter Beach.

"It'll be in the 80s later. We might go to the beach."

Not a chance I'm swimming at the Rockaways till next summer.

"I called to tell you a funny story. My younger son came into my bedroom this morning and said he had two hairs near his penis. I told Reese about puberty and that his body was going through changes and at the end of my explanation he asked if he could start dating girls."

"What's wrong with that?"

"He's only ten."

"And what's wrong with that?"

Kids grow up so fast.

My youngest boy is five.

That is too young to date.
