I was standing at the end of the hallway, fiddling with the lock on my friend's apartment door, which was seemingly impossible to move with the key he gave me. So, moving in and out of his doorway as I experimented with different key positions, and noted their effect on the inside lock mechanism, I noticed a little one looking at me fixedly and talking to his Mom about me. He was asking her questions about what I was doing, no doubt.
I looked at him, but I'm not sure if he could see me smile as he was quite far away, in the lobby at the end of my hallway. Then, I gave up on the lock. I was able to lock the top one, so I decided to just leave it at that, and go get some food. I turned around and he still looking at me. Hi! he said, and I responded Hi! Then as his Mom beckoned him, he turned to go and then turned again to wave and say "bye!" I smiled and said bye while waving.
Kids can really make you feel good. When they recognize or remember you, it really feels awesome (thinking about other kids I know). what is it about kids? I think they still know how to speak the language of love, simply because they speak from the heart.
