I wonder if I'm growing. A child is carrying this familiar childhood question with them during all the little moments of their day – waking up, looking out the window, in the mirror, at the breakfast table, in the car and in the bathtub – until that magic moment… HEY! He can reach the tap now! For the very first time today. And finally, we can actually see this kid’s mouth in the mirror – and the big smile that’s on it.
