just a while ago i had a moment that i know will stand out among moments in my life...
i took kai outside, and while she was running around, a little boy came up to me saying (in russian)...
"i have met this dog before! hello kai!"
kai greeted him enthusiastically like she does everyone.
this was dima, a seven year old russian boy in first grade. he has played with kai and tim before outside, but this is the first time i had met him and his grandfather. dima was practicing every bit of english he knew with me and i thought we had to be coming to the end of his repertoire when suddenly he burst (no exaggeration here) into song...and dance! it went something like this...(with the most precious seven-year-old-boy-russian accent)
"desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
molly is a singer in a band
desmond says to molly - girl i like your face
and molly says this as she takes him by the hand..."
the obladi oblada part kind of faded off, but i was so impressed! the beatles, bringing people together...
