Son
noun
The breath child (that lets you release your breath when it's born) is a son. Nowadays it's cool to have a girl, but back in the day you wanted a son to carry on your underwater basket weaving legacy. That's why this is a son.
むすこ
The reading of this is messed up. 子 is こ, that should be okay. 息 is むす for some reason though. Why? Because you gave birth to a son, but he was a moose (むす). You better hold that breath again, because this is not what you wanted.
息子は元気です。
My son is doing well.
この辺のアパートに私のひとり息子が住んでいます。
My only son lives in an apartment around here.
週に二回は息子と一緒に公園で遊びます。
I play with my son in the park at least twice a week.
