How To Do A Suit


"OK I'm ready!" announced Stephen through the door.

He had insisted on dressing himself for church. It was turning into an anxious ten minutes for Lulu, the sibling in charge of getting her littlest brother out the door in time; but Stephen had declared that he Could Do It Himself Okay, and had put up such a fuss that Lulu had figured it would be quickest just to let him have his way.

She opened the door of the four-year-old's room to find Stephen standing in the middle of the floor, wearing an untucked shirt, his pants on backwards, and one of Jimmy's ties knotted like a loose bow around his neck. The end hung almost down to his feet.

"See?" he demanded. "I know how to do a suit!"

Lulu was still staring when there was a honking from outside.

"Right. You're very handsome," she agreed, scooping Stephen up. "Come on, Cary Grant. On the way up, I'll show you how to do a tie."
