The First

So today I dropped Tristan of at school and I yelled out the window as he walked away, "I love you." He shot me a look that said shut up dad and then looked around to see if anyone had heard me, as if he may have to explain something to someone as soon as I leave. Is 8 really the age that kids become embarassed by their parents? I thought I had a few more years at least. I dont want him to grow up is I cannot yell I love you or even blow him a kiss from across the school yard.
