Ageless Innocence I laughed and tried to get a smile by suggesting the cafeteria was squeezing those tears out of them. It's surprising how soon we forget the intent of children picking on others. Jokingly, I teased them into submission, until whatever they were crying about was forgotten. In return they played upon my sympathy, quizzing me into revealing my ageless seeming age. Made them promise not to reveal it to anyone else, although they pretended to... just to make me pout/frown. And after trying but failing to get my name out of me, one fifth grader won my smile by saying "I will just tell them it is the pretty lady with the long hair" who was the same age as his grandmother... that made them laugh instead of cry today. M (I volunteered extra time for cafeteria duty just because...) "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |
