Bits 'n' Bytes of School (Part 3)
Tina: Can I call you Saturn?
Myself: Why?
Tina: Because you earrings look like the planet Saturn that I drew for Science!
* I have this pair of long dangling earrings-it’s silver with three pink ‘balls’ of different sizes, each having a streak of white at the center. The largest is in the middle of a silver square. That looks like Saturn.
-The little girl from India was wearing 3 wristbands that read 'Love', 'Dream' and 'Best Friend' each. She asked me to sign my name on the wristband but I told her that i prefered if the band looked original. She then took off the ' Best Friend' wrist band and asked me to wear it because she said I was her best friend. She was very happy that I agreed to wear it till school was over, although the band was over sized. Every now and then, she would pass by me, point at the wristband and smile widely. Such an adorable child!
-Another 10 year old girl secretly gave me a very sweet looking, pink color, heart shaped lollipop secretly as a gift. She told me not to tell anyone else or they would ask me. She hid it even from her younger sister! Kids are so cute and just have a way of melting hearts:)
These are just few of the conversations I shared with the children, and they have never failed to make me remind me of my own schooling days and make me realize how alike, and yet different we are.
