Something about kids...
You know, I had a horrible day. It was the kind of day that made me really almost decide to take that job with Aldi's, just so I could look forward to something-anything-different.
But, then, this evening I had promised to take dinner to a family of friends, and one of the little girls (Jenny-the one that speaks more english than her mom) just ran to me and screamed as she jumped into my arms "JOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHNNNNNNNNN"!!!! Her face was teeming with joy.
And it took all the stress of the day away.
That fast.
So, I spent some time with my friends, making up our own spanglish..teaching it to each other as we went along. If you get the chance to talk to people with completely different cultures than your own...do it! They are from Ecuador.
Incidently, Jenny even gave me a kiss goodnight. I know that this story doesn't exactly make me look macho, but I can handle it. I talk about sports often enough:)
