My love.
My beautiful, sweet, wonderful LOVE!
I just got off of the phone with my boo.
My baby, my son, my sugarplum Saidon (Sai).
My 13-year-old son Saidon.
He’s so awesome and so handsome and do you know what my baby SAID?!!
So my son and I usually sit up on the phone caking. He is a great conversationalist and I enjoy talking to him more than any other male in my life. Tonight we were gabbing up a storm as he told me about his friends, his Xmas list and so many other random topics.
He said to me, “I have a feeling I’m going to be wealthy. Not rich, wealthy.”
“I have a feeling it is going to happen sooner than you think,” I encouraged him.
“See. It’s like this,” he said. “I feel like no matter what happens, I can still come out on top. Say for some reason, I don’t make good grades in school and I get all C’s and D’s and God forbid, I have to drop out.”
Huh?
“Yeah, but say I do. I can always just go to Broward Community College and get a license to become a barber. I can save up and open my own shop, then open at least 2 more. THEN, I can start investing that money into bigger projects and that’s how I’ll make my wealth.”
I sat there in shock and I listed to this 13’year-old’s business plan.
“I just have to stay focused and stop being so lazy!” he said more to himself than to me.
I almost fell out.
I know school isn’t the end all be all. In fact, I believe formal education is just a gateway to working for others so it really made me PROUD that my baby had a plan in his head that he came up with all by himself.
I love my baby! I love my boo!
I think he’s going to be alright in life.
I really do.
