Grace got a bee in her bonnet that she wanted to post a letter this afternoon, so she did some drawing, put it in an envelope and wanted to walk to the post box. The child who just this morning was constantly “too tired to walk” when we went to have a cup of coffee with Keren now wanted to take a 15 minute walk to post a letter. So after making it clear that I would not be carrying her (I had Eli in the Moby) off we went. Not a peep or a parp about being tired, just a little girl happy to be posting a letter.

On the way back Grace was asking about gates and walls and I said to her that lots of people have walls and gates because we have a problem with people stealing things in South Africa. We walk on a little while and then she says, “Daddy, what’s the problem with South Africa?”
