My FAVORITE 6th grade girls
came to visit me at my apartment today. I had promised them in December that
they could visit but I only said it because I thought they would forget. I
FORGOT that kids NEVER FORGET ANYTHING YOU PROMISE THEM. EVER. So I get back
from vacation on Wednesday and one of the girls texted me and ask to visit this
Saturday. I was reluctant at first because I really do not like people in my
private space. My apartment is sacred to me. It is my "country" away
from So Ko.
But a
promise IS A PROMISE.
So I
let them come to my building and intended to speak with them in the hallway for
a few minutes. You know, catch up on their short week in middle school and send
them home. Well, the 3 little sweeties bought chocolate cake and pastries.
Heck,
I HAD TO LET THEM IN.
They bought goodies!
They bought goodies!
These
were my 3 favorite 6th grade girls who graduated last month and started middle
school three days ago. Well I hurried and tidied up, then threw my suitcases into my second
room, closed the door and let them in.
4 hours
later, we had eaten the cake and pastries, taken selfies, braided hair and they
had taken a short nap before watching the Korean SNL on the television. Once
they got comfortable, they acted like they were home.
Having
just come from being home with my family, it felt good to hear giggles and
laughter in my house again. It is always so quiet here with just the tv and
computer to keep my company.
I
finally kicked them out at 5pm after they promised to help me practice my bike
riding when it gets warm.
Don't laugh, You can forget. LOL.
Thanks for the visit, girls. You are such sweethearts.
