Have you ever known someone
who you can tell has Natural Born talent?
I always wondered how parents figure out
what their kids are born to be.
I mean, Tiger Wood’s parents knew he’ll be a golfer.
Michael Jordan wanted to play baseball,
but he was born to dominate another sport.
And most Guitar gods I admire,
have been playing since they were kids.
So I am trying to learn how to know
what kids are born to be.
I started with this venture
at the regular play place where we take Tyler to.
I saw the young boy who never stopped running,
might be the next marathon runner.
The young girl standing on top of the slide, singing,
might be born to be a great Opera singer.
But those are just speculations.
Although there was one incident
where I truly know what this one kid is going to be.
There is no doubt in my mind
that I have determined what this kid’s natural born talent is.
See, my son is just very friendly,
and that’s just how he is.
He talks to every single person wherever we go.
I feel bad for him sometimes,
when he says hi to other kids,
No one ever says Hi to him back.
So anyway,
at the playground where we were at,
Tyler was talking to this young girl.
He’s just trying to strike up a conversation I guess.
I presume the little girl to be about 5 years of age.
But the little girl kept running away,
trying to avoid my son.
But whenever they get to cross paths again,
Tyler would just start talking to her.
This happened quite a number of times,
but the girl just keeps on avoiding him.
Then, all of a sudden,
We hear this little girl shout at the top of her lungs to Tyler,
“Please leave me alone!”
It was so loud,
everyone heard her.
As my son, just walks away,
plays with someone else.
And this my friends,
is when I realized that,
that little girl,
Was born to be a bitch.
I know, I know.
She’s just a little kid.
They don’t know yet.
But what do you do?
What do you say?
Which brings me to this little question…
Is it wrong for me to hate kids
who has hurt my son physically?
Everytime they are together?
Say, they’re about a year older,
with the most irresponsible parents.
And worse,
they are family.
Am I really wrong?
See, I am a parent now.
And I have never been a parent before.
The safety and wellness of my kids is of utmost importance to me.
Does it give me the right to hate those who are mean to them?
Even if it is other kids?
It doesn’t matter.
I don’t care anyways.
I stopped caring about other things
quite a while ago.
Okay, maybe that wasn’t true.
And it doesn’t make sense.
Come to think of it,
I am not making sense here for the last 5 minutes.
Then why am I still talking?
Sheesh.
God I hate Mondays!
And stupid people.
Hi honey, I remember this and I know how you are feeling.
No answers for you except that I hope all kids were as sweet as our little Tyler, maybe he is suppose to teach them to be nice.
I am so happy to have you and Tyler and our families.
I Love you,
Tracy

Man o Man what a story.
I wonder if Tyler is going to inherit the deep thoughts of his father.
Could be scary. Just wait until instead of talking he wants to kiss them, and they want to run. Although I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to kiss Tyler, after all he is the best looking kid around.
Love you,
Grandma.( or could you tell)
