Shock.Gasp.
Swoon.
Up until this very say everything was normal in the world. Things were the way they were suppose to be, but today... No. He dreaded this day. Finally his brother was taller than him. He was growing faster?? That was not a very twin thing to do. Raniero felt wronged. Betrayed by his own blood. The two of them even resorted to the doorway height chart. It couldn't be. Today it was merely half an inch, but who knows tomorrow it could be an inch. Next week?? He couldn't bare to think of it. It was time to grow up. Literally! He had to think bigger, bolder! He could not be left in the dust left this. He was a prince after all and no prince could stay a boy forever. He waltzed over to his mother tugging at her sleeve to grab her attention. "My beautiful mother. I knew this day would come, but I'm sure it is sooner than expected. I'm sorry, but it is time for me to become a maaan. No need to be alarmed. I am not packing my things up just yet, but there are big things in my future. Big big things and --" He suddenly gave a big yawn. The little man still needed his sleep. "Mmmn, maybe I should sleep on it. I'm sure I will think of it as I dream tonight. Right, Mother?" He turned to her for confirmation before she scooped up her two beautiful boys for bedtime. The prince snuggled into his big plush bed and was off to his daring adventures in dreamland.
