"Think of it this way; this will be a great story to tell me someday." –Wilbur Robinson
There are some stories Cornelius Lewis Robinson will never tell his son.
When 6 year old Wilbur comes home from school complaining about girls and cooties, Cornelius promises him that one day he'll want to hold someone else's hand and call them "sweetie". He doesn't tell Wilbur that he always held on a little too tight.
When 8 year old Wilbur sees his dad kiss his mother and makes a face, Cornelius laughs and tells him that one day he'll want to kiss someone and hold them close. He doesn't tell Wilbur that his lips were always soft and tasted slightly of licorice.
When 10 year old Wilbur fidgets during the scene where the hero and heroine watch the sun rise over the hills in the 3D-theatre, Cornelius teases him that someday he'll do the same thing and want it to last forever. He doesn't tell Wilbur that sometimes they would use the time machine to make it go on for hours.
When 12 year old Wilbur tries to cover his ears during the 'birds and the bees' talk, Cornelius assured him that someday he'll want to share a "special hug" with someone and cuddle. He doesn't tell Wilbur that he looked beautiful flushed, or how comforting it was to fall asleep holding him.
There are some things his son would have to find out on his own.
