Today I dropped my son at the bus stop for his last day of school. I was singing on the way, something like this:

“I love, Love, LOVE you! I Luuuuvvvvvvvvve, la la luvvvvvvve you!”

I don’t sing very well but never pay attention to this unless it is called to my attention which is what happened this morning when I pulled up at the curb and stopped to let him out.  There was one girl there, waiting for the bus.

“That’s not Emmy is it?” I asked, understanding she is now getting off the bus with him, one stop ahead of her usual. Might she show up in the morning too?

“That’s not Emmy,” he said, putting his hand on the door handle. “Now, Mom. Is there anything else you want to say before I open this door and be humiliated?”

I stared. I was stunned and then broke into a grin because he was grinning himself, slightly.  “Do you mean you wouldn’t rather I not sing for that girl.”

He nodded.

“Okay then. Gotcha. It’s safe – You can open the door.

He got out and I drove away thinking, this is a curse.  He’s a Sun Saturn (take me serious!) with a Jupiter Moon mother (rollicking good times) – What’s the boy to do?

Do you have a similar curse in your chart?

Vidroid came home from school yesterday and reported he’s been snagged! Not by Belle, but by Emmy!

He was extremely happy but stressed with the two women and all. He was also upset that school ends in 3 days so he only gets to be partnered briefly but he likes, Emmy who snagged him from right under Belle’s nose.

We quizzed Vid… the same thing you want to know, is Belle aware of the new situation? He said she wasn’t and I asked him what he was going to do if she asked him about it.

“Tell her, my heart is not a toy!” the soldier blurted. We all dissolved into laughter.

“What else should I tell her?” Vidroid asked, his Scorpio Mars taking notes.

“Tell her, look here. I liked you. I pined for you. I lost sleep over you but now? Well now I have been hit by the the thunderbolt and this is just what happens, it is the way that it is.”

Vidroid beamed.

He also came home today pledging his total allegiance to Emmy.

The friend who betrayed my son earlier this week has apologized and restored the friendship. I am skeptical since this boy has a distinct pattern of becoming very close to my son and then dumping him coldly.

It has never made sense because they hang out together at one house or the other 7 days a week so I always wonder what this kid thinks he’s doing. He is entirely compatible with my son. I have never witnessed conflict of any kind so I have no idea what this kid is acting out but apparently it is something. And I think he is fortunate because my son can transcend but what a baffling situation.

My son pulled his yearbook from his backpack as I was dropping him at the bus stop yesterday. “Here’s this, I forgot,” he said.

I was surprised but it occurred to me immediately, “Is Belle in here?”

“Yes,” he said blushing.

“Okay, well I want to see her.”He got out of the car with a groan like a normal 8 year old (almost 9, or 10 if he is at school) boy. I pulled up the street a bit and opened the yearbook to see the lovely Belle and well…

Last night my son was reminiscing and he told me about a time he had no friends…

“So I drew some friends, cut them out and pinned them to my shirt,” he said.

I was stunned. “Did that work? Did it get you some friends?”

“Nope,” he said, not sounding sad.

We were talking about the argument he’d had with his best friend at school. His friend told him he did not want to be friends anymore but I reminded my son he’s been through this with Jesus before and I thought sure they would make up within a couple days.

“You’re at each other’s house almost everyday. I am sure he is going to miss you,” I said.

Happy to report he got off the bus today and said I was a wizard… in fact the friendship was repaired but here’s my point:

My son has an honest to God pimple on his face and he is claiming puberty. Don’t tell me he doesn’t want to be grown up.

Personally I was ready to hit the road by the time I was 8. Every single thing I did at that age was geared to this end. I wanted to grow up, get out, go on adventures and think my son is geared the same way.

Can you Capricorn / Saturn types relate? How about you Jupiter / Sagittarius types?

Yeah, my son is deep and serious minded but he does have Venus in Gemini.

“Yeah!” he said, telling me a story in animated fashion. “And he was my fri!”

“Your what?”

“He was a fri of mine.”

“A what?” (no Gemini here)

“My fri! That’s like a half a friend,” he explained.

I snorted.

Do you have any fries?

“She’s an evil angry witch who is never nice to children,” my son explained.

“Ooh. I guess she is,” I said. “I hope I am nice to children. I think I am.”

“Yes, you’re nice. You’re a free-wheeling mother,” he said.

Guess who has Jupiter in aspect to his Moon? Whew! ::wipes brow:: Because the other night he told the soldier I burped.

“Oh for chrissakes, when?” I asked. “How many times have you even heard me burp in your life?”

“Well, he’s 8 years old,” the soldier said regarding Vidroid. “He doesn’t know what we know. We know he’s going to get older, grow up and meet his girl someday. There is a woman out there for him, you know it and I know it.”

“I do know that.”

“So do I but what does he know? What’s he got to believe in? All he’s got is the Tooth Fairy at this age, so okay. He’ll believe in the Tooth Fairy then. The Tooth Fairy is a beautiful girl and she’s magic. She makes you feel good. She’s what you’ve got so you believe in her..”

“Oh, it’s terrible,” I said, “Vidroid got rejected by a girl at school today. A girl he likes.”

The soldier groaned.

“Yeah, it was bad. Apparently his friend was trying to fix him up. He said, hey. Vidroid likes you. Do you like him? And the girl stood there. Er… no.”

“Gah.”

“Yeah, he really felt bad. He was decimated. He feels like shit… he feels horrible.”
