Soul Crushers #2&3

Today I visited the after school program run by the Chinese Information Service Center (CISC). There I met one of the cutest little boys EVER. His name was William and he had some precious things to say to me. They crushed my soul but in a very adorable way.

William: "When did you first have this kind of candy?"
Me: "When I was probably 3 or 4 years old. It was a long time ago... I'm kind of old."
William: "I know."
(I had just met him 2 minutes prior to this conversation)

Me: "What are you working on?"
William: "I'm writing a story. Did you know that when I grow up I am going to be an author?"
Me: "Really?? That is so cool! Have you written any books yet?"
William: "No, I'm not grown up yet."
Me: "But I bet you could write a short book, right?"
William: "No, I have to wait until I'm older."

Too cute for words. I now realize that kids can be really great. The kids in my program and I are still working on that.... :)
