Son's shaving his legs is rough for mom to handle

[ironman]

DEAR ABBY: My son, "Max," is 14. We have always been able to talk about everything. I have always told him he could trust me and his father. I am very proud of him.

Yesterday I was shocked speechless because Max shaved his legs! Although I almost had a heart attack, I tried to remain calm. He says that all his friends are doing it, and that the girls like it. His father sat down with him and told him that men do not shave their legs. My son says it is the fashion, and hairy legs are not "in."

Max is a wonderful young man. People always tell me how lucky we are to have such a terrific son. Am I overreacting? I'm confused and beginning to feel the generation gap. -- WORRIED MOM IN PUERTO RICO[/url]

Reggie Cleveland endorses the use of Nair Hair Remover. It works for his legs and there's no messy shaving required.

Dear Worried,

Your son is entering the wonderful world of teenage prostitution. This is a joyous time for both your son, and your family. Soon, elderly Japanese men on vacation will seek out your son and pay him handsomely for his services. Feel no shame, Worried, as your son will soon be bringing home money, jewlery, and vd to share with the rest of his loving family. This could mean a bigger apartment for you all, and new rims for his father's el camino!

Dear Worried,

Embrace your son and say how wonderful it is that in this day and age or Hurricanes and Earthquakes he has found the time to nurture himself. Let him know it's okay.

Dear WMIPO,

Face it, your son is gay. Teach him how to swallow men whole.

How upset is she going to be when she finds out he shaves his balls too?

OK, there is a story here that probably involves showering in between 2 different guys in the same day.

Spill it.
