there is a little boy i observe in my early childhood development class who wears his pants at his jeans pulled up to his ribs by suspenders. y is three years old and when his teacher asked him what he was thankful for he said stars. he has japanese eyes but they're enormous with brown shine.

maybe i'm being hormonal, but for some reason that brought me to tears. i think it might be because i know that i truly cannot stand little children even they're so wonderful and beautiful. it's time for an entry of my own on this.

i like this story. i liked the part where he said he was thankful for stars.
sometimes i wish i appreciated small children instead of just wanting to eat them.
oh well.

i adore that story.
in high school i worked at an afterschool care center. a couple of the kids started guessing my age. 16,25,40,13. there was this little boy named Chu who hadn't guessed, so i went to him and asked "Chu, how old do you think i am?" his answer was "Bunnies?". this made my heart melt.. working with little kids is the best.
