Young or Old?

by Shannon David

Ages 3–79 min readConfidence & Self-EsteemFree to read

A little boy is old enough to tie his shoes, but too young to help his father paint the house. He is old enough to feed himself, but too young to help his mother cook. Is he too young, or too old?

A funny, true-to-life peek at the muddle of growing up, when you're told you're too little for one thing and too big for another all in the same day.
