It literally feels far too soon to deal with this turn of events. I needed to visit my supervisor on Sunday, to drop off...documents from my...business trip last week. He had "a prospective" in at the time, so I settled in his front room to wait things out.
For about twenty minutes all seemed normal until I heard him, deep in conversation, with someone vaguely familiar. As they approached, I was not so shocked but certainly surprised, somehow, to see my son had somehow managed to charm him.
...Apparently he's a fantastic prospect and a 'natural' for the job in terms of temperament, maturity and emotional maturity, with 'no major issues' thus far. It's not the worst idea, him following in my footsteps but it IS a life I'd hoped he might avoid having to live.
It won't be my place to say anything in the way of permission specifically, and not until he's old enough will I get that, but...I'm worried, I think. Not of anything specific but in the sense of him being still so young to make that choice.
Is it worth a conversation? Or telling Arno? Feels like THAT would be a gut punch, too.
