At McDonald’s Play Land, I sat from afar & watched this scene ~ a little girl in a purple dress approached Angel & this was the conversation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi! I’m Sarah! What’s your name?
– Angel
Hi! I’m five.
– I’m free. I have gum when I’m five.
You’re three? I was three when I was a little girl. (pause)… You wanna be friends?
– Ya!
Okay!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
…and off the two of them went, hand in hand, into the play structure. I thought about how complicated it can be for grown-ups to gain a friend, & then laughed to myself as pictured that exact scene between two grown men.
