He is Mr. Responsible.
Though only two years older than his brother, he is expected
to keep an eye on him, and steer him away from trouble. He is the one who gives
the dog his lunch, and runs errands for me. Kids instinctively turn to him when
they are in trouble, and though he doesn’t enjoy it, he ends up taking care of
them.
Sometimes, I feel guilty about forcing him to grow up so soon.
And then he does something really cheeky, and I realize he’s still a kid at
heart. A responsible one, but still a kid.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Responsible
