pickles

It has been a while, and I apologize.

Life has been so simple and good I just don't have much to talk about! 

Did you know that our brains don't fully develop until age 25? 

Did you know that owning a cat makes your whole apartment smell different, no matter how clean you are?

Did you know that an owl can hear a mouse step on a twig 75 ft away?

Did you know that red flags aren't pink, they're red!

Did you  know that pickles are cucumbers?

Did you know that your heart beats over 100,000 times in one day without you even thinking of it?

Did you know that love is patient and kind. It is not jealous, or boastful, or proud, or rude. It does not demand it's own way. It is not irritable and keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice over injustice, but rejoices whenever the truth wins. Love never gives up, never looses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance? 

Now you know. 

Twice a week at the Elementary school I work for, I get to be out with the kids at lunch time. So we play for 15 minutes and then eat for 15 minutes, and once all the little classes have migrated into their little pods to eat with their friends, I can't help but sneak over by the Kindergarten boys and just listen to their conversations. I just sit there pretending to be a fly on the wall and OH MY, I hear the funniest things. 

But one day I was feeling creative and asked them.

"Hey boys, what do you think love is?"

-"Umm... your heart?"

-"Love is God!" (bingo)

-"I think love is um, your spirit."

Me: " Wow yes, yes I love those answers. But now I'm wondering how you show someone that you love them?"

-One boy shouts out, "make them a card!!!"

-Another, "you share kisses." hahahahhaha (they all thought that was great)

-"Um, you like make them a cake when it's not their birthday or they're not celebrating anything."

-the final toe headed boy said, "YOU DO A BACKFLIP WITH A BASKET BALL, AND THEN A SLAM DUNK!!!"

Clearly everyone has different views on what love looks like :)
