Summary: "Little Willie" by Eugene Field is a humorous poem published in the early 20th century. The poem reflects on childhood antics and the fond memories that come with them, focusing on the mischievous behavior of a young boy named Willie. It captures the essence of a parent's love and patience, even in the face of childhood accidents. In the poem, the narrator reminisces about little Willie, who constantly annoys his mother with his mischievous tricks and occasionally wets the bed. Despite the troubles caused, the narrator expresses a deep affection for Willie, recalling tender moments of cuddling and the challenges of parenthood with a sense of nostalgia. As the poem progresses, it reveals how time has passed, with Willie now becoming a father himself, echoing the same behaviors with his own children. Ultimately, the narrator humorously conveys that, if given a choice, he would still prefer the innocent, carefree presence of little Willie over any glamorous companion, embracing the joys and trials of parenthood.
