I think so too. He’s a very sweet guy. Who remembers when we called him Boober? ---

With luck, **Opalcat** , he won’t be wearing size 14 shoes like my son is at 13 1/2. Enjoy, he’s old enough to _really_ torture now. They blush _so_ easily at that age! ---

I’m still waiting for the blushing easily stage. We’re still at the stage where he’ll give me a hug and kiss me on the cheek in the middle of the grocery store–or even at the pool, in front of his friends–and say “I love you, mom” Mind you, I am not looking forward to that part going away… ---

Man I remember that feeling. I had a new feeling last week. My son is no longer a teenager. He turned 20 on September 9th :eek: I sit and think was it _really_ 20 years ago? My son is in his twenties? Just seems unreal sometimes. And to top it off my baby turns 18 in a month. I am not sure whether to cry or jump for joy 😕 ---

Congratulations! When I met him last winter he was a nice boy, I’m sure he’ll be a wonderful young man. ---

I hope it wasn’t like [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLuEY6jN6gY). (Classis Harry Enfield “Kevin becomes a teenager” sketch). ---

He’s 38 now and will still kiss me then say ‘luv ya, ma’ as I walk away…and that’s on the manufacturing floor where we both work. I’m incredibly blessed. I hope you are as fortunate! 🙂 ---

When I first started posting on the old AOL SDMB, Dominic was about 18 months old. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dominic-is-a-teenager/463666.md?page=1)
