wild but happy

i just don't get kids. are they all so calm?

example: i go to the playground yesterday, there are about 5 little asian children playing in the sand. but they don't MOVE! they sit there like statues and are motionless. James decides he is a race car, he makes racing noises and elaborate sounds and skits,

start your engines! he shouts and then GO!!! and he races around and around the park as fast as he can. I notice he is getting broader in the shoulders and bigger all of a sudden. he has the happiest smile that has ever been seen on his face.... ahhh childhood. He is so happy and racing around while the other kids stare at him motionless. i wonder if they even know how to play at all? are they ever like that? are they ever that free. It seems as if someone has to tell them what to do and how to play. they seem unnatural.

meanwhile, patrick is dictating to the entire playground what they can and cannot do.

"NO SAND CASTLES! this is ice cream land! I am making ice cream and i don't want to see any sand castles here! Little girl, no castles you hear! and james is racing too when he is done he is going to have ice cream sand!"

what a dictator..lol. again all the other kids are like petrifeid of my kids and have no idea what to do. they stare at them like my kids martians..lol

its time like this when i think, my kids are gonna be something great some day.
