I was at work the other day, minding my own business when all of the sudden I heard the sound of tiny footsteps behind me. I turned around to find the cutest little boy look at me, giggle and run away. His mom was off somewhere else in the store, but he stayed near me running around and laughing until she was ready to go. They disappeared for a few minutes and I honestly figured they left.
I was wrong. As they were walking out the door, the little boy yelled "bye girlfriend!" to me, leaving his mom in total shock. She was a little embarrassed, but I thought it was brave of him and so very adorable. One of my co-workers came up to me later and told me what happened. She said the little boy ran up to her exclaiming, "I'm in love! I'm in love with that girl over there!" I smiled and she told me his name was John.
Little kids are so bold in what they say, what they do, and how they love. They're out there and unafraid, and that's exactly what love should be. I don't know why years later we're so afraid to love and let it be known, but we could all take a few pointers from kids like John.
