I haven't given any updates on Pat in a while! How awful of me! I've been getting your emails asking how he's handling puberty and let's just say...not well. Not well at all.

I explained that in high school, your worst-looking day is always how people remember you. "Even when the acne clears up," I said, holding his hand while we had tea at the kitchen table, "your whole class will think of you as Pizza Face after they see you today. One bad-looking day in high school can ruin a person, Pat."

He said that he'd still like to go because he had an important biology exam, but I pointed out that even if he aced the exam and got into Yale and became a molecular biologist, there would be two hundred and fifty people in America who had seen his pustules and would never forget it. Finally I got through to him and he locked himself in his bedroom, probably to drop to his knees and thank Heaven above for a mother who really understood what it was like to be a teenager.

Don't get me started on his erections! Email me if you're interested, I have some great stories.
