The Boy likes women

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2008.06.12

During her recent visit, my mother told my wife that when my brother and I were small my dad would fret that she was was kissing us too much, that it would "turn us gay".

So I've been routinely kissing The Boy and telling him "kisses to turn you gay".

But it hasn't been working. Whenever he's around young women, he flirts and makes his happiest noises and generally acts in an animated fashion. I'll redouble my efforts!

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
