Through the eyes of small children

Yes, Kenza. I really am a boy on the inside. Thank you for noticing. You have no idea how much it pleases me that you can see what all the grownups cannot.

I think that the next time a six year old asks me that, if it happens again, I'm not going to evade with an answer about wanting to talk to her mother about it first. I'm just going to say yes.

I always find it interesting what children see that adults don't...

Oh, to see the world with the eyes of a child,
And heaven in a wildflower...

OK, so it's not quite a quote, but it's close, and certainly fits.

I would have been more surprised at seeing truth, and not thought much about whether the parents should be consulted. But I'm not you.

That must have been a really uplifting experience for you. I really don't know what else to say but I'm happy for you.

Tom: Yeah, maybe I just worry too much about what the parents would think of their child playing with ... well, the likes of me. >.>
