In My World

I was hanging out with my friend Erica from Dubuque and we were just walking around campus. This was the weekend where the were High School students there doing their Choir tryouts and things. We were just walking around and we decided to sit down and take a breather.

There were these two little kids. I’m going to say they were like 5 or 6 years old. One a boy, the other a girl. They were dressed in their Sunday best, playing on the grass.

The boy would run away from the little girl and she would chase after him, actually trying to catch him. He would stop for her and she would giggle when she caught him. Then he would push her down and she would just sit there with a sad face, almost like her heart was broken. After a few seconds, he would walk over to her and help her up. It was so cute. He actually really CARED for her. They then continued to play around.

After some time, they noticed my friend Joe, whom was working at the hamburger stand, and they would just look at him giving out food, for money, of course. Obviously neither of them had any money. The little boy just walked up to Joe and asked for something. Joe, being a nice guy he is, found a burger that was a little smaller than normal, and a little over-cooked (not burned, I assure you) that he couldn’t sell to a paying customer and he put it on a bun and gave it to the boy. The small boy grabbed it, thanked Joe, and walked away towards the girl. What I saw next made me smile.

He took the burger and actually split it down the center and gave her the bigger peice. This made me wonder about the world we live in. How could two immature childer grasp the essence of being nice, caring, and just pure innocence? How could a grown couple fight, argue, and never reach this point after years, upon years, of marriage? Just to show you that life is beautiful, if you just sit down and open your eyes, and mind.
