You mentioned that he offered to choose an up-market nursing home? This proves his unadulterated love for you. He would not wish you to be ashamed of him, just respectful, and awed. Is that not what all children wish for? Respect and awe?

Once you are awful, you should consider ways in which you could hope to please this near-deity of a child which you have produced. While one as stupendously great as he would never be rude enough to say it, he would expect only the best. You must try to discover how it is that you could and should be offering it to him. A silver platter? A golden throne? What is it that you have that befits a son of such grandeur? Lavish gifts upon him, as it must be known that he will indeed rule the world at one point in time, and once he does, you would not wish to be on his bad side.

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that when all is said and done, your son, despite being so brilliant, will be incredibly modest. He loves you dearly, and as such, would be embarrassed to be seen in public with people who he values so highly, as he may not feel worthy being in YOUR presence. As we know, it is in fact him who is great, but in his modesty, he sees you as being better or above him. Luckily you and I both know that this is not the case, but your son, the poor, modest, stunningly handsome, brilliant in all respects, near god-like, height of perfection, bloke may see it differently. It is best to keep hidden in public so that he does not feel embarrassed that he may claim to know you. Keep in mind here, that you are the one with the problem, and that it is his best interests that you must think of.

While you should and must feel proud to be his mother, you must never mention in public, or to anyone, that you parented him. If you must speak of him, you must only refer to him as you would refer to any lesser celebrities (such as Kevin Spacey, or Johnny Depp), as someone who your respect, admire, are in awe of, but have never met. This is, once again, to protect his modesty. If in an interview or at a book signing, you are brought up as even someone he may have met once, he will become so shy that he may become introverted and actually collapse in upon himself.

For the sake of not only your son's life, but for the world that depends upon him to be so great and brilliant, and for his billions of fans and worshippers, you must never allow it to be known that you have even ever met him. This is not to say that you must ignore him entirely, however. As mentioned earlier, you must lavish gifts upon him, the more expensive and grand, the better. Your son is brilliant, and must be treated as such, lest he leave the world without his presence.

I hope that this has cleared everything up for you.
