‘We adults see a man when we look at that stature. Man-size expectations, even if they aren’t overtly expressed, are always too big for what is still a boy. Expectations that didn’t anticipate boy-size mistakes, and exasperation and disapproval ensue. A boy trusts the adult world to guide him as he grows and receive redemption on the other side. A boy needs that reassuring love that fills in his confidence, that mistakes shake until he remounts the hill and knows he can start again.’
