All my girlfriends came to visit me and him in the hospital, and I took them down to the second floor nursery, and we stared at him in awe from behind a glass window.
That's him, I said, with the orange fuzz on his head.
He was lying naked and spread-eagled under a bright heat lamp.
He seemed very content.
My friend Carol gasped and said, Oh my God, he's got the biggest balls I've ever seen in my life.
We all started laughing our heads off, and then the nurse came and told us his scrotum would shrink to normal size in a few days.
I haven't seen him naked in years, but it still often feels, when I look at him, that I'm gazing at an odd creature from behind a glass.
So do you think about girls?
And what do you think about them?
Yeah?
So what makes them cool?
All his life, Owen's been a quiet kid.
Not sullen, but just rather silent.
When he was a baby and I'd be pushing him around in his stroller, people would stop and crouch down and talk to him and expect him to laugh and smile.
And all he'd do was sigh and stare at them.
When he got a little older and went over to his friends' places to play...
and it was time for him to go home, he just got up and walked right out the door to the car.
He didn't say, hey, thanks for having me, or next time we'll play at my place, or even goodbye.
We'd be driving home, and I'd be trying to explain to him that it seemed rude and that sometimes we just had to say certain things at certain times.
It was polite and expected.
