Bobbie's Long Trousers (1913)
Bobbie's misfortune all arose from a pair of long trousers. When a boy came into the office arrayed as to the nether part of his anatomy in all the majestic panoply of a grown man, Bobbie's jealousy was aroused. Bobbie invited the girls in the office and some of his other friends to a picnic on the following Saturday, on which occasion he assured them be would wear his first pair of long trousers. On Saturday, Bobbie's attitude was chiefly characterized by an over-weening pride. When the other boys and girls went in swimming, he preferred to strut about the beach in his lordly apparel until the boisterous demonstrations of his friends forced him to don a bathing suit in self-protection. The fact that he was obliged to resort to personal violence to regain the cherished clothes from a small boy who had put them on in his absence and was grandiloquently stalking about in them, did not in any sense mar what he felt was a thoroughly satisfactory day, and on the following Monday he arrived in the office clad for the first time as a man among men. But poor Bobbie found that being a man among men has certain disadvantages. The girls in the office wouldn't let him kiss them anymore. Instead they treated him politely and held him off at arm's length. So Bobbie decided there was nothing else to do and went back to short trousers.
