The Talk

Friday night, I had a talk with Kaydon.

Or maybe it was Saturday morning.

It was a busy weekend!

I was really, REALLY nervous about having this conversation.

But, I felt that it was the right time.

Me: "Kaydon, Mommy needs to talk to you."

KK: "Okay. What's up?

Me: "How would you feel about me dating Mike?"

KK: "Mike from next door... who used to live there... who you ditched 29 times?"

Me: "Yup. That Mike."

KK: "I would really love that."

Me: Speechless. Maybe crying already.

KK: "Mom, you've worked so hard the last nine months. This was never about you not dating again. This was about you getting better. I think that Mike is a great guy. And patient. I like him a lot."

Me: "Oh. Well then ok."

KK: "I mean, Dude is persistent. And he's a lot different than any other guy you've ever dated."

I actually did ditch him 29 times, and unapologetically.

I needed to make sure that I was in a place where I could hold my space and date only who I WANTED to and date someone who was actually, like, an adult.

T calls him an "adult."
Funny, but not funny.

But real.

Progress.
