Question

    I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked _______ at me and said, "I love you.” I didn't know what to say.  _______ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and _______ down at him. My first thought was that he must need _______ with his homework or he was trying to _______ me for some news. Finally I asked, "What was that all about?" "Nothing.” he said. "My teacher said we should _______ our parents that we love them and see what they say. It's a(n)_______."

The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this "experiment" and how the other parents had _______. "Basically, most of the fathers had the _______ reaction as you did, "the teacher said. “When I first ________ 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 ________ is," the teacher explained, "feeling love is an important part of ________. It's something all human beings ________. What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too ________ that we don't all express those feelings. A boy should be ________ to tell his dad that he loves him." The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how ________ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for ________ second. And just ________ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, "Hey, I love you, too."

I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time if my child says "I love you", it would not take me a whole ________ to think of the right ________.
