Catherine Lacey: BoyStory

By catherinelacey

Reuben in the park

Reuben just whistled for the first time, out of the blue, and was so overwhelmed, he cried.

And earlier, Reuben in the car "... 'Send the call out. Send the call out...' (Lorde). Let's put that song in the trash, right Callum!" I couldn't agree more.

Later, he asked the priest who'd baptized him "Why did you just give me a hug?" even though Reuben hugs everyone.

Tonight, Callum was in floods of tears behind the door as an end of the day tiredness grabbed him. "I need some lonely time", he repeated.

Today's BoyStory. Til tomorrow.
