I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked   21   at me and said “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say.   22  several seconds all I could do was to stand there and   23   down at him. My first thought was he must need   24   while doing his homework   25   he was trying to prepare me for some   26  .
Finally, I asked, “What was that all about?”  “ 27  .” He said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an experiment. ”
The next day I   28   his teacher at my office to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had responded .
“   29   , most of the fathers had the same reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first   30   we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The point is,” the teacher explained, “feeling   31   is an important part of   32   . It’s something all human beings   33   . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too   34   that we don’t express those feelings. A boy should be able to tell his dad that he loves him. ”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how difficult it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me   35  , I held on to him for an extra second. And just                36   he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you. ”
I didn’t know if saying that would make   37   of us healthier, but we did feel pretty   38  . Maybe   39   time when one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole   40   to think of the right answer.
