My son [8 years old] has had a huge crush on Blaine, a popular character on Glee played by Darren Criss, for two years now. Despite the passage of time, his puppy love for Blaine (or "my boyfriend," as my son likes to call him) has gone unabated. It's cute and sweet, but it left me in a bit of a conundrum. [...]

Eventually, the time did pass, and we were brought up to meet him. My kiddo was so nervous and anxious that he was practically jumping out of his skin. And then he was there, and my son met his first love. It was adorable. Darren Criss was charming and lovely, and my son was so shy but happy. As for their conversation, that's not really mine to share. Maybe someday, when my kid is older, he'll write about it, but until then, it remains as it should be: between him and Darren. [...]

My son gripped me into a fierce hug. "Mom," he said to me, "meeting Darren Criss was all the trillions times better than a hotel with a pool." I'll take that as a "thank you."
