Enjoyed this. Lucky kid! I’m sure you’re making the kind of impact that will be remembered in meaningful ways later in life. So important to let our loved ones find their own way.
I also laughed at “greasy motives” 😄 - so true.
My mom and another person important to me had that connection through wordplay/banter, a source of real amusement, and a thing hard to explain to others.
Some of this writing reminds me of Jesse Ball’s Autoportrait, worth a read if you’re ever interested in exploratory reading. He calls himself absurdist.

Thanks so much. You’re right. That banter is hard to describe. It’s fun and one of those things that don’t really translate out of context.
I think my son’s motives are far from greasy, but those boys are out there and they grow up. It feels more appropriate to spell/pronounce it “greazy”.
I’ll have to check out Ball’s work. Thanks. That sounds really interesting.
