Jamie was a kind little boy who lived a very interesting life. Jamie has two fathers and no mothers.  He would ask his parents why didn't he have a mommy like the rest of the children and they would say, "When your older Jamie we'll explain." That's the only answer he'd ever get, the only answer he's ever known. so when he started his first day of preschool and he got asked the question, "Why do you have two daddies and no mommies?" He simply replied, "When you're older you'll understand."  

Hey Jamie? 

"Yes, Salty Author?"

 Do you want to know? 

"Know what?" 

The answer to your question.

 ".......No, and you want to know why?"

 Why? 

"Love is the answer to everything. When you love someone it doesn't matter who they are, what they are, or what sex they are. The only thing that matters is your love towards that person." 

Wow....it's hard to believe your only 3. 

"I heard that on a talk show last night and my favorite part was when everyone got un..."

 STOP! Keep it rated PG please Jamie. 

"I was going to say unlucky, that was the night were everyone gambled and play games......what did you think I was going to say?" 

WELL.....would you look at the time!!! Back to the story!

Jamie didn't have many friends in preschool, he was a very lonely boy. He would sit alone, eat alone, and play alone. Then on his way home, (Jamie walks home because both his parents work late and his house is only two blocks away) he met an old man who would become his best friend......in three days. 

"Hello there..." the old man was sitting on his porch reading a book and looking down at Jamie,"Would you like some candy?"

(Jamie's Mind in this event)

The old man is talking to me....stranger..... should I run away? Wait he's Asain.....Japanese maybe.....if I take his offer will I really get candy or will he force me to study? Wait.....what if it's not candy, candy and it's candy made of dogs and cats! Wait..that's the Chinese....why his he giving a preschooler candy anyway? I would call  911 but I don't have a phone....stupid taxes......I wonder if he has a dog.....

(Back to reality and out of Jamie's 3-year-old mind)

Jamie stood on the sidewalk staring into space thinking about his response to the old man. His little child eyes in wonder as he thought about his response. 

(meanwhile in the old man's mind)

This kid has been staring at me like I grew boobs...is it because I'm Asian? Kids these days are too racist, honestly, why can't they just be like that one character from that one game?What was his name again? Mario! Why can't they be like Mario? He's an Italian Plummer, created by the Asian's, speaks English, looks Mexican, jumps like a black man, and grabs coins like a Jew. Really, you never see him discriminating between races! He hangs out with a mushroom, a white blonde princess, an alien princess, a brunette princess, his brother, and countless Yoshi's. He at least tried to get along with the dragons as well.....he's still staring. Maybe I never should have asked....but he's always alone on the walk home. Is he not popular at school. It' hard to believe a little kid like this being bullied. 

(Out of the old man's mind and back in reality)

Jamie stood frozen and still eyes wide open, and was actually in the process of running away. 

Jamie?

"Yes, salty author?"

I have a question, but I don't know how to word it.

"Well, just ask it how you were going to ask."

Okay, well were the kids bullying you because your parents are gay? I mean you can't be the only kid with two dads, there might be kids with two moms....

"I go to a private Christian school.....so no I don't believe there are any other kids with my situation. I know kids with one parent and no parents but two dads or moms....it just doesn't happen in a Christain school. Besides having two dads gave me a chance to be grown up....just listen to the way I talk! I'm so cool!"

Yep, you sure are! Now back to the story!
