Growing

During that time when an Old Boy becomes a Young Man, he found himself sitting in a church on a Saturday, attending the wedding of a family friend. His Father sat next to him, right leg crossed casually over his left. He leaned in toward his Son and whispered, “You know, it won’t be too many more years until you’re standing up there doing the very same thing. What do you think about that?” The Boy/Man looked down at his father’s shiny brown right shoe resting relaxed on the perfectly pleated knee and responded, “Are those my socks?”
