This little girl befriended me a few weeks ago when she was the only girl in her neighborhood play group who was brave enough to talk to the 外國人 (foreigner). She rides her bicycle around my street and you should see how her face lights up when she sees me returning home from my daily adventures. She LOVES Catherine and is constantly begging me to bring her downstairs so that she can hold her. As you can see from Catherine's face, the loving feeling is not quite mutual yet, but we're working on it.
The cool thing about my little friend is that she teaches me new Chinese words and makes me laugh with her sense of humor.
For example, yesterday when I thought I looked dressed up and more presentable than most days, she said:
"Why are you wearing that?" (while making a face of complee disgust).
I explained that I was going out to a grown-up event and needed to wear fancy clothes. She proceded to tell me that my clothes were ugly and that I should never wear them again. Gotta love how kids always speak their minds with no boundaries.
