Growing Up

I was in the bathroom tonight cleaning up the water on the floor from Jack's bath.  It was Howie's turn to get in the shower and he was just standing there in the bathroom not doing anything.  I told him to go ahead and get undressed and in the shower.  "What are you waiting for?" I asked.  He politely asked me to leave so that he could get in the shower.  This was a first for me. I knew this day was coming soon, but I didn't expect it tonight.  Of course I respected Howie's privacy and I quickly left the room for him to undress in private.  He's growing up!
