a kid

Today I went to see a baseball game of my colleagues. They have a lot of sports event every year and this time was one of them. Some people brought their child, 1-8 years old. I played and talked with a seven-year-old boy while his father was playing baseball.

He was quite talkative and energetic. He told me many things that he had in school, and we played catch together with a soft ball for kids. That first grader talked about his friends, his sunflowers and morning glory he is growing, his parents and grandparents, video games and so on. His smile was cute and innocent. He was not conceited nor selfish.

It seems difficult to raise children because you have to teach manners to them. Children love playing, they play with food, for example, and you must discipline them not to do that with patience and affection.
