Would you still love me?

Would you still love me?

One night, a small boy had a conversation with his mother.

“Mom, would you still love me if I turned into a dog?”

“Yes, my son, it would take some adjusting, but I would still love you as a dog.”

“Would you still love me if I turned into an alligator?”

“Yes, it would take a lot of adjusting, but I would still love you.”

“Mom? Would you still love me if I turned into a girl?”

There was a pause, as if the small child’s whole future depended on her answer.

“Yes, my son, I would still love you if you turned into a girl”

“What would you do with me, if I was a girl?”

“I’d try and teach you girl things, just like I’m trying to teach you boy things. But mostly, I would teach you human things, just like I am now.”

The small boy smiled, and closed his eyes, and went to sleep

The mother got up, and went to leave the room, but turned back and whispered softly to the sleeping child, “Yes, I will still love you, when you turn into a girl.”

And she kept her word.

Not that I expect any less of you. = )

It would take LOADS of adjusting, but even if you expressed curiosity in front of me, I'd still love you. *HuggleSnugglePurr* <3

aww, thank you extravagance

expresses SATISFACTION instead, since that's what brings the Cat V-boy back .....

Thanks sweetie. Huggles and scratches behind the ears.

Conversely...and sadly...

...if the answer is 'no,' can they actually say they loved the child to begin with?

I would say no, Drea

if you love your child, you should love them no matter who they become. You may worry, you may not like the choices they make, but the child should never be able to lose your love.
