No defense against this.

[Dietrich]

I live in a more or less blue collar town in North Carolina.A nice neighborhood with good neighbors but nothing fancy.A couple of years ago,a young Mexican family moved in two doors over in my cul-de-sac.Great people.He speaks English well but his wife does not.Still,we wave to each other and their three children come over to play with my dogs and to get juice boxes and cookies.Last week,the youngest little girl turned 4 years old.As she is home with her mother most of the time,she doesn`t understand English either but we still manage to play little games. Well,I had gone to Wal Mart and bought a little doll as a birthday present for her and she got it at her party last Saturday.I had forgotten about it but evidently she had not.I was out in the yard doing some raking this afternoon when I felt a tug on my pants leg.When I turned around and saw her,she was smiling up at me.Then she handed me the Hershey Kiss that she had brought for me. I would not take a thousand dollars for that little piece of chocolate,and I have no defense for those soft,liquid eyes that smiled at me.I`ve never been so touched in my life.

No doubt not as meaningful as hers but heres another for you. I covered up my eyes so I wouldn't be recognized.
Ryoung, go to the corner and stay there till I tell you to come out, we're having a tender moment here. Ok that's long enough, you can come out now.

Rewards like you described are the reasons I still teach school after 15 years of putting up with bad kids and low pay. Once in a while, it makes it all worth while.

Dang! I woulda thunk Dietrich offered little girls candy!
Wynn:D

Jes' jokin'.:blushing: I have a sensitive side, too, but that other side, though smaller, can't keep quiet!

I can appreciate how touching that was, and didn't mean to lessen how great the feeling you must have experienced -- really!:blushing:

Wynn:)

That was a great moment of humanity.

One of the little things that makes life worth living.
