"Robert'll go to school with me then? He'll study with this man too?"

"No. I'll be sending Robert to school, but not there. I'm thinking on sending him to a boys' school in Savannah."
I was bewildered. "But why can't we go together? We've always studied together. Why not now?"
My daddy took a moment before he answered. "Because you're growing up."
"But that's got nothing to do with it."
"Oh, but it does," said my daddy. "It's got everything to do with it. Robert needs an education, and so do you. But you can't be educated in the same way."
