I’ve started to have an obsession with little kiddies. Actually, it’s not new but I like to pretend it is. When I was back in Seattle, I attended my cousin’s high school graduation and ended up babysitting his siblings (2) and his cousins (3) from the other side of the family. The kids ranged from 4 – 11 and they could not sit still for the graduation, not even given how short it was. I guess the UW graduation for the whole college announces every name, EVERY NAME which could take forever. So we ended up outside and with the youngest being the common denominator we ended up playing duck duck goose. I’m 24 and have not played duck duck goose in over I want to say 15 years. And here I was with 5 little kids, bopping heads. Then the kids started getting creative since duck duck goose is kind of boring, instead they started doing things like peanut butter peanut butter and jam. However, one precious child, who was a little too violent and homophobic wanted to do something with guns or gays in it. I had to put a stop to that one. I mean really, where do children learn these things and why must they disseminate the information so quickly? Anyways, even playing with 5 children for so long, I still really enjoyed it. I know, I sound l like a glutton for punishment but really, even with their rowdiness, inability to decide a game and high decibel screams, they were adorable.

Afterwards, I told my mom that I really wanted to have kids cause they were adorable, even the spoiled screaming one. My mom was like, you need to find a vital part of the equation before you can have children. I KNOW, but jeez don’t trample over my dream where I get to tramps the flower fields with my children. At least not so soon, especially since they are just your FUTURE GRANDCHILDREN.

And so, that won’t happen for a few years but, probably until then I’ll be stalking children on the street. I especially have a partial preference for the cute little asian kids (wonder why? haha) The least intrusive thing I could do is take their picture, but even that is too hard and creep. I saw a child on the T today, he’s this cute little asian boy about I want to say 5 or 6 with shorts and a stripped polo shirt and a red sox cap on backwards. I REALLY REALLy wanted to take his picture, he was just so wonderfully adorable. He was quiet and just stood there with this parent’s waiting for the T and fascinated by the car mechanics as they went buy. I just wanted to take him and cuddle.

Really, kids that like to cuddle have a special place in my heart. There are a pair of twins at my parents’ chinese school, I think they should be in 1st or 2nd grade by now and they are adorable and they just love to cuddle if they know you. One time, one of them, he kept pushing and tugging at me and I thought he wanted to get down so I put him down and he looked SOOOOOOOOOOO upset and then tried to cuddle with my leg, which was insufficient and then ran off. it was so adorable…I would have adopted him right then and there.

alright. I’m really going to stop this creepy rant. And instead, go volunteer at the YMCA. HAHAHAHHAA.
