If only...

Today after school, I took Kerri to her favorite fast food place (she calls it "Old McDonalds"), for some fun in the large play structure. And Kerri quickly made friends with a little girl. The mom and I made small talk, and when it was time to go, Kerri invited her new friend to our home for a play date. She even told her what street we live on! I did not even know Kerri knew our address.

The little girl's mom quickly pointed out that they lived across town. But the little girl decided that would not stop her and told her mom that we could always meet back at this play structure.

The mom and I laughed, and she said: "if only adults made friends as easily as little children do.".

And as we said our goodbyes, I kept thinking about her comment. If only adults were more like children in so many other ways!

Life with Kerri teaches me a lesson, every day.
