I love to see small children play. The way they interact with each other is fascinating. While they play they laugh, jump, scream, ran and sometimes cry. They are a fountain of endless energy.
Children are the closest images of angels on Earth. Anything is possible in their fertile imagination. Monsters under the bed, green dragons spitting breaths of fire, flying ponies, dwarfs, and the list continues to infinity.
Last Sunday I went to MetroMall to look for a wireless phone. I found it, but didn’t have the money. I’ll have to wait for a month or so until the piggy bank is fat enough. At the mall I saw a group of small children playing in a make-believe sea with cute-looking sea creatures—crabs, octopuses, fishes and so forth. The kids were absolutely adorable. Take a look.

Concentration is the name of the game. The other little angel curiously looks at the make-believe ocean. Photo by ©Omar Upegui R.
Kids make their lives interesting. Their thought process is something we left behind. Everything is possible if you think like a kid. Even flying. That’s why I like dreaming. I can step up in the air and fly anywhere.
Hi Abe:
Yes Sir, if could go back and be a kid again it would be a marvelous experience. For them nothing is impossible as you correctly said.
Best Regards,

Hi Omar and Abe,
I love watching kids too. We daycare for my sons’ kids and studying their thought processes is just amazing! My 2 year old grandson spends every moment he can in the shop with me and loves cars (already!). He walks around Nena’s car nonstop saying, “Gramma’s car”.
The other day, he discovered the little door on the left rear fender that covers the gas cap. He opened and closed that door a dozen times while I watched. Then, he steps back and studies a moment … then dashes around to the other side.
After a second, he runs back into view, then again to the other side. Curiosity finally got me and I looked to see what he was doing. He was standing by the right fender and staring at the fender where the OTHER DOOR SHOULD BE. After seeing tires, lights, door handles, etc on BOTH sides, he expected to see a door on the right fender as well.
Finally, he shrugged as if to say, “someone messed up” and went on with his playing. haha

Hi Jim and Nena:
Perhaps if we took the time to observe children better, we would learn more from then and be wiser. Their curiosity is fantastic. They are keen observers and generate a billion questions about just anything and everything. Yep, that’s the door to innovation, creativity and imagination.
We think we know everything. Wrong. We know jack about nothing.
Take Care,
Omar.-
