Sense Sonnet - Tickler

At that Age

"It's damp out dear, you'll need your cap."
"I've got it Mom, thanks anyway."
"And take your brown coat with the flap."
"I will Mom, whatever you say."
"Now dear, will you be home by four?"
"Yes Mom, don't worry; I'll be back."
"Good! Let me help you out the door."
"Thanks Mom, and thank you for the snack."
"Now give your Mom a kiss my sweet."
"Ah Mom - okay... I've got to go."
"Shall I walk you across the street?"
"Mom - I'm a big boy now, you know?"

I guess when all is said and done.
Mom loves her eighty year old son.
