I’m not sure how my trip through he past landed me there. He was sitting on a dock drinking a beer and there were a bunch of empty cans around him. I thought, “Man, I used to change his diapers” I wondered if I’d embarrass him if I told all the little girlies flirting with him that I’d seen him naked. I wondered if he still had that little birth mark on the back of his thigh, just under his cute little bottom. I remembered how he’d sit in my lap with his head on my chest and suck his thumb until he fell asleep and how he’d get mad and throw the most awesome fits when he didn’t get his way. He was the sweetest little thing. A bad boy. One of my favorites.

Then I clicked through to the next picture. That’s when I realized I wouldn’t be embarrassing anyone with my revelation. His birthmark was still right there where I remembered it and it seems he has upgraded in other areas since the last time I saw him.

I closed the page. I know there is no way to unsee that, but I’m trying. God damn, I’m trying.
