About This Painting:

Kids would rather be outdoors playing or at home playing Nintendo than sitting at a cafe with parents, right?  For kids, a cafe is not such an exciting place to be, and its historical background or decor, if any, probably doesn't matter too much.  But there was something different about this boy who caught my attention at an outside Montmartre cafe in Paris.  His father ordered un cafe; the boy wanted a tall glass of orange juice. When a waiter served it on the tiny round table, the boy reached high to stick a straw inside and started drinking it.  He was very well-mannered and proud as if to say, "Hey, I'm old enough to sit in a cafe!"
