I told him to think kinder thoughts. Think about...you ready for this part?...his chakras. And I gave him a chakra tutorial. But in the middle of it he started talking about genetics. There he goes again, I thought. Not even on topic. And my husband said "Tell him to climb into bed and think about genetics." Duh. It takes me a while to get it. Thinking about genetics IS nurturing to him.
