Girl With a Lolllipop


Friday afternoon....I'm walking home from class.

The primary school children are lining up to get on their busses

....the most beautiful little girl is sucking on a lollipop.
She says, "Hello."

"Hello!" I answer enthusiastically.

"You are beautiful," she says to me.

I'm stunned..I'm 67, wrinkled skin, baggy eyes. She is nine, flawless skin, big round dark eyes.

Now I know why so many Chinese need glasses!

  1. I agree with that precious child: you *are* beautiful, in so many ways, and I value your friendship!
