Third Day

The third day at HOA has been quite interesting and very much up my alley.

The day started with Ted (staff worker) and his mother over a cup of coffee. Mr. Ted corrected me on my previous post of my comment on a car, and told me (as my Romanian Automobile Advisor) that the Logan car is an "ok" car. I won't say anymore details, as it even confused me! (And I am sure I would get it wrong again).

Speaking of Romanian cars, Mr. Ted taught me how to do the shifting on a standard car last night. Yes, to some it sounds trivial, but on a rural road, and not knowing exactly what to do, it was quite the achievement and very exciting!

Anyways, going back to the children, my third day has been particularly up my alley, as I am drawing portraits of the children. It started with a young girl by the name of Georgina asking me to draw a picture. So, I drew her face and the children came running asking that I also draw them. So, as I drew on the carpet with a brown pencil crayon, the children toppled on my legs and feet anxiously awaiting for their turn. It actually started to hurt me, so I asked the children to back up.

The girls were very keen to see themselves in a princess outfit or a wedding dress. They hummed the wedding march for me to understand their request. The boys wanted to look exactly the same as they were looking and wearing today.

Now, isn't that funny how universal we are? The girls want a beautiful fantasy and the boys accept themselves as they are. In fact, exactly as they are, down to the very last detail. :)
