the zoo

i really want to go. i was just informed that they are open year-round, and i didn't know that.

geeze.

currently i'm trying to work in the big L-town, America.

there are two adorable middle-eastern children next to me. they are with their mom, and they are so well behaved. that makes me happy. so many children run around like crazies, throw fits constantly in hopes their parents will cave to the negative display (which they usually do).

these children beside me are so polite. the little boy, around 5 or so, was staring at me every time i looked up. his mom got embarassed and said that he was curious about my laptop. i smiled and invited him over to peer, and his mom was of course skiddish, like any good mother would be, but i assured her it was fine.

he smiled really big, his huge brown eyes full of wonder, and he hopped right up next to me and put his little hand on my arm.

he was so precious, and i wished i had something really cool to show him, but alas, it was just my laptop and a word file. i let him scroll and click, and you would have thought i would have taken him to disney world.

it just really blessed me, because the family was well-dressed (not that that matters at all)and clean (that does matter), yet both children were so open and seemingly thankful for such small things.

the mother thanked me several times, and i told her that it was such a blessing to see a well-behaved, lovely family. she teared up a bit and thanked me again, and they left.
