Handsome Matthias

The other day Matthias and I were having a long chat. I thought he looked so handsome, I asked someone to bring me the camera so I could photograph him. He was kind of embarrassed, but cooperated. Today I told him that he was adorable and he did not like that. I asked why it bothered him and he said, "I hate when people call me adorable. I wish they would call me handsome instead." Indeed. He is 11 years old after all.
