Stray

This weekend

our kids were looking at buttons they bought in New York

on vacation

last year

My daughter who is almost five

pointed to one which read

"hate is not a family value" and confidently read it to us

"GAY" she said

Then she pointed to a rainbow one

"GAY"

Then to one which said "I love my gay family"

"GAY"

she said again

Jessie, my wife pointed to herself

"GAY" she said with a laugh
Zion, now almost 8

then pointed to himself

"GAY" he said

"no wait"

"straight" he said

"no wait"

"Mommy, I am a STRAY"

that's what you are when you don't know yet

if you are straight or gay

"I am a STRAY"

happy as punch he skipped away

very pleased with his new title

of

"don't know yet"

You just have to love this live

don't ya?
