I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 21 at me and said “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. 22 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 23 down at him. My first thought was he must need 24 while doing his homework 25 he was trying to prepare me for some 26 .
Finally, I asked, “What was that all about?” “ 27 .” He said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an experiment. ”
The next day I 28 his teacher at my office to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had responded .
“ 29 , most of the fathers had the same reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first 30 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The point is,” the teacher explained, “feeling 31 is an important part of 32 . It’s something all human beings 33 . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too 34 that we don’t express those feelings. A boy should be able to tell his dad that he loves him. ”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how difficult it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me 35 , I held on to him for an extra second. And just 36 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you. ”
I didn’t know if saying that would make 37 of us healthier, but we did feel pretty 38 . Maybe 39 time when one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole 40 to think of the right answer.
