Matthew is six years old. His Mother buys him a two-piece suit like his father’s. Matthew looks like a little man. He thinks he is one too.
He will not play with Julia, his young sister. "She is just a baby!"
At mealtime, Matthew eats what his Father eats. And all day, he follows his Dad around and imitates him. What joy he takes in doing so; what a wonderful feeling to feel so manly.
When it's time for bed, his Mother tells him, "Tonight Matthew, you will go to bed by yourself." Matthew has big tears in his eyes and starts to sob. With his hands over his face he admits, "I think I am still a little boy. I am not all grown-up yet."
Mother puts him to bed with Hugs & Kisses.
Matthew is not a man yet, but he is a much wiser little boy.
