My boy is now 26 and I remember him at that age when he wanted to spend time with me! Susan is right, mine is worried I will give his "prime condition" Star War toys to my grandson (his nephew) who is now 9 and into Star Wars. They have conversations on a different dimension.

However, girls more than make up for it during the second ten years. Teenage boys can be perfectly charming. Mine treated me as a cute but somewhat dumb creature who needed their protection and wisdom. I played along because, after all, that's what I did to them for 10 years. And, by the way, they never quit playing with Star Wars toys. Never. I have sons in their 30's who still ask for Star Wars toys for Christmas.

There is tenderness that will always be there for you from Boy. There will be a disconnect on a superficial level, but not where it really counts, never ever. Tears came to my eyes.
