Eighteen

It's my darling Son's 18th birthday today.

He's all set for a jolly with his mate in Amsterdam, but this is him before thoughts of debauchery and sin were uppermost in his mind........when a day at the zoo and a burger were all that was needed to raise a smile........oh how the years change a man!





I love this photo for many reasons, not least the fact that it shows his crazy cowslick before his head was big enough to accomodate it, and it also just about shows his double tooth (front right as you look at the photo)
It was most unusual, in that it was completely one and the same tooth as what should have been the small tooth next to it. It just had a small line going up it that marked it out as being two teeth. The dentist loved it, as he'd only ever seen it on his own young son.
When it/they fell out, the adult teeth came through individually and so the special tooth was no more.

The cowslick still remains, and the barber can now manage it more effectively, and the boy himself is still the same sweet natured soul he always was.

Do I love him? Yeah, just alot.
