Kids
hmm... wonder what kids see when they look at me? The kids look like love beings, like playmates, friends, confidants. But what do they see?
I've got kids leaving their parents to find me at the grocery store. I've got kids at hotels leaving their parents to start games of hide and seek with me. Kids coming up to me starting conversations when I'm out and about. Kids I have never met yelling to me when I walk down the street, yelling hello. Yesterday I was doing the Snowbowl summer ski ride, (riding the ski lift), looking down at the beautiful plants when a chorus of little boys in an oncoming ski lift chair started calling out to me to chat and play.
At a house party I went into a friends room to check out a loft bed I had given her. In piled all of the kids at the party to find out what I was up to. Ok... I knew one kid there and now I have all of the kids around me, well of course I want to play, I love to play, so while I'm playing my friend looks at me saying, "Wow, you really are a kid magnet."
Here at my apartment the kids in this block follow me around, come to my apartment to hang out, chat, play, explore. Like, how to feed the fish, or turn on the cherub fountain, water the plants, climb the loft bed, run cartoons on TiVo, play with the kitties.
hehe... I was just thinking of when I'm back in Wisconsin around all my nephews and nieces and little cousins, it's so fun
So I love kids, they are my best friends... but how do they know that?
