(If you read this story out loud, please use the following voices:ME: as a child, high-pitched, forgettable; as a woman, the same.THE BOY WHO WILL GROW INTO A MAN, AND BE MY SPOUSE: robust with serendipity.MY FATHER: kind, booming; like your father, or the man you wish was your father.MY SON: as a small child, gentle, sounding with the faintest of lisps; as a man, like my husband.ALL OTHER WOMEN: interchangeable with my own.)
