The local day care center class of 2 year olds went for a walk to the library for storytime. Eight two year olds and two caregivers, all holding hands, were waiting for the traffic light to change and attracting the attention of a few grandmotherly and grandfatherly types who all insisted on accompanying the group safely across the busy intersection. Once across, one of the enchanted women thought she'd make the excursion a little fun for the children and took about 20 seconds to sing out brightly and point to and wave into the big overhead mirrors at the entrance to a big store on the corner. "Look everybody! You can see yourselves up there!" "Look! Look! Aren't you all beautiful?!" They were all beautiful but I wonder if they ended up going to the library at all...all those angels holding hands and smiling and laughing up at themselves...
