Hi, you.
I’d like to have kids. You know, with you.
I can almost see already how it will unfold.
I think our first baby will be a boy. You’ll think that I’ll be thrilled with a son. And I will be. But I’ll also be a little secretly sad that it wasn’t a baby girl to take after you.

an open letter to my (hypothetical) future son
Dear son,
I’m your dad.

You’ll reply “all dads say that.” And I’ll be so thankful that you’re still young enough to think that’s true.
When your best friend...
