When Cathy notices that her son has new headphones on and is dressed in new clothes, she is confused. She decides to follow him one day because she wants to know where or from whom he has been receiving everything. When she recognizes it, it transports her back to her early years.
My son Alex has been dressing up in new clothes that I didn’t buy for him, and I’ve just now began to notice this. I noticed a fresh set of headphones hanging around his neck yesterday.
“Dear, from where did you get the earphones?” As I was preparing breakfast, I inquired.
“From Dad,” he texted back, yelling.
“And the clothing as well?”
“Um,” murmured he. Indeed.
It made sense; I was divorced from Alex’s father, Ian, and the two of us were always giving Alex new items, making it hard to keep track.
