aged 7

little andrea to alibaba,
"jinghui yiyi don't look happy today."

alibaba, "is that so?"

little andrea, "yah! can't you tell?"

*earlier that evening...

little andrea to me,
"you look very tired."

me, "ya, i am."

-------

somehow i felt comforted when i heard of it.
amazed that it came from a little girl just 7 years of age.
she asks me the most piercing and direct questions everytime we meet,
and i try to shun them everytime.

wonder as we grow older, do we become less sensitive naturally or
do we choose to simply ignore becoz it's easier this way?

i think i am often guilty of the latter.

it's sad when you are next to someone everyday but they don't see you at all.
and then along comes a 7 year old kid...

it's good to be a kid.
growing up clouds all the innocence we once possessed.
