Things have been a little rough in Kim these past few days. Between work things going amiss, trouble sleeping and internal fights with myself, it's been hard to see the up side of things.
But today I had a car full of little boys help me get over my slump. I was heading to Skillz Street this afternoon after a particularly arduous few hours in the office and I ended up driving behind a Quantum (a 14-person van). There was this one little boy in the back of the Quantum who was looking back at me and smiling. I couldn't help myself - I waved. He broke out into a huge grin, turned around and must've told the rest of the van that some crazy white person had just waved to him because the next thing I saw were the heads and limbs of at least seven little kids looking back at me and waving.
I spent a good five minutes waving to them, giving them the "thumbs-up" sign and making funny faces before the van finally turned off the road. And as I drove past them I rolled down my window, stuck myself half-way out the car, waved and yelled "Byeeeee!" as loudly as I could. I got more than a few stares from passers-by, but it was totally worth it.
