Ronit Subramanian was seven years old and he was the tallest student in hisclass. It made him feel very proud. But when he remembered some of the things heused to do as a small kid， he felt a little shy. He wished his mother would not tellthose stories to her friends again and again.

Last week his mother’s old school friend had come to see her. They weremeeting after 10 years. Ronit was just back from school when he heard his mothersay， “You know what my Ronit used to do as a baby？ He used to think everythingand everyone was a part of the Subramanian family. So he would call the refrigerator‘fridge Subramanian’. And he would call the dog that curled1 up on our doormat2outside‘doggy Subramanian’.”Ronit heard his mother’s friend laughing and he ranout of the house—without any lunch. “I wish mother would not do these things，”hesaid for the thousandth time.

That evening， his mother showed him the toys and games her friend had got forhim， one stuffed3 dolphin and a game of blocks4. Ronit got unhappy.“These are kids’toys and games. I am a big boy now. My hero is Spiderman. That’s the toy I want formy birthday this year—spiderman and the spray5 that makes the spider web.”

“Are you saying you no longer want your favourite stuffed toy—Pepper theDoggy？”Ronit’s mother asked.“I don’t want kids’toys. I don’t want kids’toys andgames any more. I am a big boy，”Ronit shouted.“Okay， okay， we heard you，”saidhis parents.
