Thawing

While overnight temp can still be 6 below zero, the day time temp is now getting to 10degC.

Two days ago when I walked Kimberley home from kinder, a boy rushed past her, made a funny face at her and ran away. Kimberley's face brightened up, turned to me and said,"That is Da Shen', 'Da Shen loves me'. I was taken aback, amusingly. The rest of the walk was punctuated with questions from Kimberley on Da Shen: 'Where does he live?', 'What is Da Shen's telephone number?'.

Yesterday on the same path back home after kinder. She kept looking out for DaShen, and got agitated with me for not seeing Da Shen anywhere. I asked her who she played with that day in kinder. She replied,"Da Shen.". I asked what they played. She replied,"We sat together','Da Shen holds my hands'.

This morning as Kimberley was leaving home, she rushed into the kitchen and grab a candy bar. She said that was for her friend. I asked her who her friend was. She replied, 'Da Shen'.

She didnt feel embarassed to tell me the truth so I am confident she is not serious, yet. That is a relief!

Kimberley played with the telephone trying to call Da Shen without knowing his number after dinner. I told her that she needed to know the number before calling Da Shen. This is common sense for us, but not for kids. I am just wondering how many common senses my mother has told me along the years...I should call my mother who is a thousand miles away tonight.
