Okay, so this story is basically one big build-up for a funny punchline at the end.
This whole thing was obviously pretty weird (and also might not have even fully made sense), but the twist was surely very fun and surprising.
I just feel like this is one of those stories that will make you simultaneously face-palm, shake your head and reluctantly chuckle.

BRILLIANT! This short story will take you 5 minutes to read and you won't regret it, as a follow up read from Andy Weir's short story 'The egg' I can say with confidence that I will be looking forward to reading all of his works!!

"Once he saw me, he meandered in my direction and extended his arms for a hug. I slapped him across the face. I hate children."
Lmao I should definitely try this too

A customer at work told me about this story today, and informed me "you'll never guess it! It's brilliant! I got to the part about wanting to feel the sons arms on her body (something like that) and I figured "it's a cat isn't it?" It's not a woman.
Sad I guessed it and didn't get the full surprise but I still appreciated the genius of the story just the same!

It's not that the idea squicks me too much to rate this higher, it's that I tend not to appreciate works that rely purely on shock value, without bothering to explore even a single idea in any depth. I am unsure whether the author is even aware of this one's potential, but the atrocious prose and the depressing simplicity of the PoV certainly make me doubt it.
