“So, P. Why do you think we didn’t marry? Why do you think it worked out the way it did?”

“Oh. Well I can think of more than one reason. There are a lot of reasons.”

“Tell me one of them. Shoot,” he said.

“Well there are a lot of them, but here’s what I believe.”

“Tell me what you believe.”

“Well take your son.”

“Yeah.”

“Think about who he is. He’s a big deal. I mean you have to know he is… he’s one hell of a human being. All flattery aside, because that’s not what this is. I am not flattering you. Obviously your son is a powerhouse and I would have to say this is a person who wanted to be born.”

“Yeah?”

“Well, yeah. He wanted to be in this world. He wanted to get in here and live and here’s the thing: I am not his mother, did you notice?”

He laughed. “Yeah, I noticed.”

“Well there you go. So he wants to be born. I am not his mother. But you are his father. So obviously you are going to have to go find his mother and go be with her and the two of you make this kid.”

“I see. Well that sounds right, P. And I know things happen for the best so maybe that is one of the reasons. And your kids too.”

“Yep. My kids too. I mean it’s not like these people are here by accident. They want to be born and the people who can make them have to get together and that’s all there is to it. So it’s hard to look at your kid… just try to look at these human beings we made and imagine something has gone wrong.”

“It’s not wrong.”

“No, it’s not wrong.”

Do you agree with this philosophy?
