[quote=Anonymous] There's an early scene in Black Boy, where the mother sends her son off to buy bread and milk. It's a real rites of passage / coming of age moment that's always stuck with me. There's a corner store in our neighborhood. I've already started imagining when I'll send DS out for a loaf of bread. He's six and there's a busy street to cross, so I don't see this happening soon. I think he'll feel like magic! It's a huge moment, one that will mean a lot to him. We're not too far from where the children go to school and have already discussed how the two of them will one day walk by themselves. We've practiced, with me walking behind them as they hold hands and make their way like little champions. This is the fun stuff of parenthood. [/quote]
