Those Crazy Kids

Kids do the most amazing things. If only we all could mature but still keep some of that innocents. I have three kids 16,8 and 9. The two youngest are girls. They of course do all usual kids things. Ride bikes, play with dolls, catch lightning bugs but there is one thing they do that amazes me. There is a Hispanic girl down the block that they play with daily. No that's not the amazing part. The amazing part is that she doesn't speak english. You wouldn't know it by the way the interact. I asked them "how do you play if she can't understand you". They replied "we pick simple words that she can understand". I'm not sure I would have that kind of patients but everyday she knocks on the door and in simple english says my youngest daughters name. Then they go out to play. They even spent the night last week. They had a ball. No marches, no protest, no immigration just three friends having fun.

This was a good post. And you're right... we could all take a lesson from the kids every now and then!
