One of the many reasons....

I love my son

Son:  Mummy what does gay mean?

Me: Well, you know how men and women can fall in love and want to be together?

Son:  Yes

Me: Sometimes men fall in love with men and women fall in love with women and they want to be together and we call that being gay.

Son:  Oh ....... Ok

Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me

Me:  Would you like to be famous?

Son: No

Me: Why not?

Son: Because people follow you and take your picture all the time.

Me: Can you name anyone famous?

Son: William Shakespeare

Am I a little proud that the first famous person my son thinks of is Shakespeare?

True, especially as the kids at school thought my impression of,  'We are not amused' was Simon Cowell
